Shack Mountain is a house near Charlottesville, Virginia, that is a tribute to Thomas Jefferson's architectural style.
[5][6] Intended as a retirement home for Kimball, the house is based on Jefferson's design for Farmington.
Like Jefferson at Monticello, Kimball found a site with a commanding view of the wooded hills around Charlottesville.
Kimball's intended name for the house was Tusculum, but the name "Shack Mountain," for earlier owners of the property, remained.
The museum sold the house to W. Bedford Moore III, a professor of engineering at the University of Virginia.
