Poplar Forests was the second home of Thomas Jefferson, reknowned leader and patriot in the early years of America, free from King George and the British rule. This particular home is the signature 8 sides and very frugal in interior. Beds are made between walls to the next room..to conserve space. Staircases are hidden since he thought these also took too much space. I got a good shot of a brick outhouse at his main home in Montecello, those did exist for the more wealthy in Jefferson's time.
This home is in renovation, owned by a private company after purchase from an individual owner of the property. Wall finishers from Britain were hired to do restotation in the original manner.
