Notes
  • 1983 Charles E. Peterson Prize, Third Place
  • Significance: Thomas Jefferson designed Pavilion X as part of one of his most remarkable achievements: the creation of a university based on his concept of an academical village. The building is characteristic of Jefferson's brand of Roman classicism which is demonstrated in all his architectural designs and which strongly influenced subsequent southern architecture. / Pavilion X is one of the largest Pavilions on the lawn and was one of the last to be completed. It is distinguished by its large projecting portico, hanging balcony and detailed cornice. Jefferson modeled the Doric Order of Pavilion X after the Theater of Marcellus in Rome. The literary source is thought to have been the Parrellele de l'Architecture Antique Avec la Moderne, 1650, by Roland Freart de Chambray. A parapet, which was later removed, was probably modeled after Andrea Palladio's illustration of the Temple of Nerva Trajan. In 1840 on the steps of Pavilion X, Professor John A.G. Davis was shot and killed by a masked student during a college prank. This violent act initiated a new mood of seriousness at the university and indirectly influenced the adoption of the honor system in 1842. Henry St. George Tucker, the next resident of Pavilion X, instituted the code.
