Thoma Jefferson Memorial

Thomas Jefferson demonstrated appreciation for classical architecture’s timeless beauty through his designs for the University of Virginia as well as his own Montecello. His favorite example from antiquity remained the Roman Pantheon, the inspiration for John Russell Pope’s memorial design.

Florida

The Florida Alligator is found throughout the State, being most numerous in the Florida Everglades. They inhabit the swamp recesses usually near streams, rivers, or lakes. They have been found often in built up urban areas such as Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. They hatch their eggs laid in groups of 20 to 60 and can live for 200 years and can grow to 12 ft in length. Laws have been enacted protecting these saurians, to guard against possible extinction.
