Recently I returned from my 4-day vacation to somewhere and on the way I stopped by Monticello. It was somewhat small and only one room was painted the way that it was known to have been painted at the time of it's building, which was the exact shade of yellow as the eggplants in the gardens nearby. Said room had a pulley-operated elevator installed into the paneling behind one of the fireplaces which was used to transport wines. It was pretty interesting.
