<strong>Brick</strong>_<strong>Wood</strong>_<strong>Stone</strong>_<strong>Land</strong>_<strong>Water</strong>_<strong>Measurement</strong><br />

On July 18, 1817 Jefferson surveyed the site and discovered that the central lawn would be considerably<br />

narrower than he had previously expected in his conceptual plan <strong>of</strong> the Academical Village; it had decreased<br />

in size from 257 yards to 200 feet. He immediately indicated on his sketch that the center <strong>of</strong> the north side,<br />

which he had originally intended for three small, uniform pavilions would now become the focal point for a grand<br />

pavilion, some principal building.<br />
