Commentary:
Note that on the elevation drawing, Jefferson extended the sides of the first floor window and door frams to the floor of the portico, suggesting that he drew these vertical lines before he drew the horizontal window and door sills. Erasures may be found on the right side of the basement stairs and around the fireplaces on the second floor plan. (JML)
