	==~~Etymology~~==		==Description==
			The Virginia Building was a replica of Monticello. The bright red of the bricks was simulated, and contrasted with the white woodwork. Jefferson had in mind the Grand Triannon seen by him in [[France]] when he planned the house. France reproduced that building at the Exposition, and the similarity of the facades can be noted.
	~~==Before~~ the ~~Fair==~~

	~~==Description==~~		The grand salon was entered first, with its high-pitched ceiling and its gallery, giving the only access from one side of the house to the other of the second floor rooms. Acoustic properties were in Jefferson's mind when he planned that room, for he was a musician of tender susceptibilities. At one side was a Conover grand piano.
