Is the Monticello a Georgian style or a classical revival?

Monticello, designed by Thomas Jefferson, is primarily considered an example of Neoclassical architecture, which is a form of Classical Revival. While it incorporates elements of Georgian style, particularly in its symmetry and proportion, its distinctive features, such as the domed roof and portico, align it more closely with the principles of Classical Revival. Jefferson's design reflects his admiration for ancient Roman architecture and his vision for American democracy.
