Frank Lloyd Wright designed and realized over 500 buildings between 1886 and 1959 for a wide range of clients. In Frank Lloyd Wright's PopeLeighey House, architect Steven M. Reiss presents the updated and detailed story of one of Wrights few Virginia commissions. Designed and built for Loren and Charlotte Pope and later purchased by Marjorie and Robert Leighey, the PopeLeighey House stands as a stunning example of an innovative form of shelterwhich Wright called Usonianfor families beset by the Great Depression. Here, and elsewhere, Wright offered a unique and unprecedented approach for homes that would be small yet architecturally significant, carefully sited, and constructed of readily available local materials. He believed that anyone with an acre of land should have the opportunity to own a Usonian home.Set in Northern Virginia, the PopeLeighey House has an unusual history in that it has been moved twice, first to the grounds of the National Trusts Woodlawn to rescue it from the path of Route 66 in Falls Church, then to resite it to better correspond to its original orientation. Wrights mission was to remind us that 'we need to see life in simpler terms.' In this amply illustrated book, Reiss echoes Wrights reminder that small, carefully built structures should be the starting point of sustainable and environmentally responsible house design.
