University of Virginia, Pavilion IX, West Lawn, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Charlottesville, Virginia

Significance: Pavilion IX is part of one of the nation's most important architectural collections. The University of Virginia, chartered in 1819, was founded by Thomas Jefferson. Located on the southwest section of the lawn, Pavilion IX is one of ten pavilions designed by Jefferson that comprise the original portion of the University. The Palladian layout of the lawn is composed of 10 pavilions and 54 student rooms. Designed as "models of good taste and architecture,' the pavilions are, for the most part, based on specific models from classical architecture. Pavilion IX is unique, demonstrating a break from the traditional, and introduction the French Neo-classic style, popular in the early eighteenth century.
