In 1912, Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's hilltop home outside Charlottesville, Virginia, was still privately owned by the Levy family and had not yet become a public memorial. Albemarle County was mostly farmland, with orchards, grain and livestock, and Charlottesville's economy leaned heavily on the University of Virginia, which Jefferson had founded and which drew students, professors and workers to town. Rail lines through the county moved farm goods to market, and the town lived under the segregation laws of the Jim Crow era. Visitors who climbed the mountain road knew the house as the home of the third president. The photograph shows the house and grounds before the 1923 purchase that began their restoration as a museum.
