From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Milton Grigg (1905–1982) was a Virginia architect best known for his restoration work at Colonial Williamsburg and Monticello. In his career as an independent architect in Charlottesville, Virginia, he worked as a modernist within the Jeffersonian tradition. K. Edward Lay, author of the Architecture of Jefferson County, called Grigg “one of the premier architectural restoration/preservationists of his time – always with an inquisitive mind on the forefront of architectural inquiry.” [1]
