Federal style

Neoclassical style of American architecture and interior design that flourished 1785–1820 (later in governmental buildings) and was influenced by the Georgian style and the work of James and Robert Adam. Inspired by the Roman republic, which the new nation believed it resembled, it was especially associated with Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin H. Latrobe. Characteristics include shallow arches, slender proportions, delicate decoration, and symmetry; entrances are often framed by columns and pediments, with a fanlight over the door. The University of Virginia (1817–26) was Jefferson's greatest Federal-style project.

Memorial Chapel We've arrived expressly to be transported while we sit stock-still in the college chapel's 1800 Federal architecture, witnessing music, Schubert, Bach, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, week in, week out, making this room a spare, sparse paradise, a garden where sound waves loiter rounded to crystal.
