About the Event
We are delighted to announce a self-guided pop up tour this Saturday, May 27, at 11 AM of 35 University Circle.
This is a one of a kind Milton Grigg home featuring a magnificent entrance foyer and living room designed to duplicate Monticello on a smaller scale. Special architectural details include a double groin vaulted ceiling in the foyer, a Palladio hallmark with built-in bookcases and an oval shaped great room with inlay wood floors, massive windows, arched bookshelves and a custom fireplace mantle.
Milton Grigg (1905–1982) was an American architect and preservationist best known for his restoration work at Colonial Williamsburg and Monticello. In his career as an independent architect in Charlottesville, he worked as a modernist within the Jeffersonian tradition. Ed Lay, in The Architecture of Jefferson County, called Grigg "one of the premier architectural restoration/preservationists of his time – always with an inquisitive mind on the forefront of architectural inquiry".
