'''Pantops Farm''' is a historic house at 400 Peter Jefferson Road near Charlottesville, Virginia. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.<ref name="nris" />
== History == It consists of a Colonial Revival main house, a guest house, and a building resembling a silo in appearance. This complex was designed by Benjamin Charles Barker and built in 1937 for James Cheek, whose family made its fortune in Maxwell House coffee. Its buildings, in particular the guest house and silo, were designed to appear as if they were older buildings that had been repurposed. The property is a small remnant of an estate that was once owned by Thomas Jefferson. It is now owned by the University of Virginia; the main house now holds the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression and the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection. The property was given its name by Jefferson: ''pant-ops'' are Greek words meaning "all seeing", alluding to the property's expansive views of the surrounding countryside.<ref name="draft_num">{{cite web|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Albemarle/002-0130_Pantops_2005_nomination_draft.pdf|title=NRHP nomination for Pantops Farm (2005 draft)|publisher=Virginia DHR |accessdate=2014-05-20}}</ref>
