Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian House |
9000 Richmond Highway Washington DC, VA 22039 +1 703 780 4000 http://www.popeleighey1940.org/ |
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, this modest home was built for the Pope family of Falls Church in 1942. Rescued from destruction by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, it was moved to its present location on the grounds of Woodlawn Plantation. As with all of Wright's designs, the house and the furniture inside—also built by Wright—is practical in function and form. The small, aesthetically pleasing house is a showpiece of the mastermind of modern architecture. Tours are available of the house alone, or of the house and Woodlawn Plantation.
