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

On view <strong>of</strong> a plan [<strong>of</strong> pavilions and dormitories] presented to the trustees <strong>of</strong> the Albemarle Academy…the<br />

board determined that one <strong>of</strong> those pavilions shall now be erected…that the lots <strong>of</strong> the said pavilions<br />

be determined on the ground <strong>of</strong> the breadth <strong>of</strong> [an undetermined number <strong>of</strong>] feet with two parallel sides<br />

<strong>of</strong> indefinite length. That the pavilion first to be erected be placed on one <strong>of</strong> the lines so delineated. By<br />

this time, Jefferson had not yet surveyed the site in order to determine the exact width <strong>of</strong> the lawn.<br />
