19. Jeffersonian Serpentine Wall at University of Virginia - A black and white photograph of a Jeffersonian Serpentine wall at the University of Virginia. These walls are called "serpentine" because they run a sinusoidal course, one that lends strength to the wall and allows for the wall to be only one brick thick, one of many innovations by which Jefferson attempted to combine aesthetics with utility. The University of Virginia is a highly selective public research university located in Charlottesville, Virginia founded by Thomas Jefferson. Conceived in 1800 and established in 1819, it is the only university in the United States designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, an honor shared with Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home.
