Notes
  • Significance: Frank Lloyd Wright designed this house, which was built in 1940 for Loren B. Pope. An example of Wright's "Usonian House," the structure, in danger of demolition in 1965 for a highway right-of-way in Falls Church, Fairfax County, was saved, moved and restored by Mrs. Robert A. Leighey, the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the National Park Service. This important American architectural monument was relocated at Woodlawn Plantation, near Mount Vernon.
