Jefferson designed it from Paris on the model of a Roman temple at Nîmes, the first public building in the modern world to copy a classical temple, and the reason so many American statehouses have porticoes. Virginia's statute for religious freedom, which he ranked with the Declaration among his achievements, passed in the old building nearby.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
