[1] A 1913 marble version, approximately 50 percent larger than the Cleveland statue, is installed at the Missouri History Museum in St.
[2] Bronze replicas of the Cleveland statue were installed at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville in 1915,[3] and at Jefferson High School in Portland, Oregon in 1916.

[9] Grafly's Seated Jefferson was modeled in staff, a temporary building material, and does not survive.In 1909, the Exposition's executive committee realized that the World's Fair had actually generated a profit.
Instead of attempting to divide the profit among the Exposition's 15,000 stockholders, the committee decided to build a Jefferson Memorial in St. Louis.
Bitter had already modeled his seated Jefferson for Cleveland, and the committee commissioned him to create a marble version 50 percent larger than the original.
[10] The statue was roughed out of a forty-five ton block of white marble in Italy, and shipped to St. Louis, where Bitter did the finished carving in situ.
The statue, which overlooks the football and track fields on the north side of the school, depicts Jefferson seated on a draped chair with his arm resting on its back.
The east side of the base includes inscriptions of the foundry Roman Bronze Works' mark as well as the text: THE GREATEST SERVICE WHICH CAN BE / RENDERED TO ANY COUNTRY IS TO ADD / A USEFUL PLANT TO ITS CULTURE."
