Notes
  • Significance: Built by James Monroe about 1790, the Monroe Hill Law Office was the first portion of a building complex which later became part of the University of Virginia campus. The small structure is faced with brick laid in Flemish bond with beaded weatherboards in the gables. Monroe, who lived there only a short time before moving to Ashlawn in 1799, is said to have used the building as a law office.
