I am not surprised that P...Latrobe was terrific :)<br /><br />I am not surprised that President Thomas Jefferson made Latrobe surveyor of public buildings (in 1803). Imagine a city full of gorgeous Georgian architecture, designed by a well taught, enthusiastic young designer, straight off the boat from Europe.<br /><br />I don't mind that successive owners made changes to the interior in accordance with contemporary fashions. That is real life! But a cupola?Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6869248897118004607.post-45292975486304019352010-10-05T18:37:16.321-04:002010-10-05T18:37:16.321-04:00The upper floor plan is great!

Though I had my suspicions the BGT would never be able to follow through with its restoration, I am well pleased at the progress being made. <br /><br />The bluegrass has many sublime estates, both restored and in need of care.
