Commissioned in 1939 by journalist Loren Pope, Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Pope-Leighey House in Alexandria, Virginia using four natural materials: wood, brick, glass, and concrete. The 1,200 square foot house feels much larger than its actual size. The house is now owned and operated by The National Trust for Historic Preservation and is open for tours from April - December.

This house may not be much to see, but it's worth it to go. This was by far the most knowledgeable house tour guide I've ever had. It was just me and my parents, and we're all Wright freaks, and the guide told us everything we could possibly have wanted to know and more. It was a wonderful experience. kostia on May 13, 2009

It's on the grounds of Woodlawn Plantation, the home of Martha Washington's granddaughter built on land the Washingtons gave her as a wedding gift. You can tour both the Pope-Leighey House and Woodlawn. Shawn on May 7, 2009
