Jeffersonian architecture is an American form of Neo-Classicism and Neo-Palladianism embodied in the architectural designs of President Thomas Jefferson, after whom it is named. It includes his home Monticello, his retreat Poplar Forest, the University of Virginia which he founded, and his designs for the homes of friends and political allies such as Barboursville, with more than a dozen private homes bearing his stamp still standing. Jefferson's style was popular in the early American period at about the same time that Greek Revival architecture was also coming into vogue, from the 1790s to the 1830s, with his assistance.
