Reiss, Steven M.: Frank Lloyd Wright's Pope-Leighey House

Frank Lloyd Wright designed over 500 buildings between 1886 and 1959. In this title, architect Steven Reiss presents the of one of Wright's few Virginia commissions. Designed and built for Loren and Charlotte Pope and later purchased by Marjorie and Robert Leighey, the Pope-Leighey House stands as an example of an innovative form of shelter for families beset by the Great Depression. Here Wright offered a unique approach for homes that would be small yet architecturally significant, carefully sited, and constructed of readily available local materials.
