Woodlawn & Frank Lloyd Wright’s Pope-Leighey House

Nestled on 126 acres of wooded grounds in Alexandria, Virginia, the Woodlawn & Frank Lloyd Wright’s Pope-Leighey House site offers a unique blend of architectural and historical significance. The early-19th-century Woodlawn, once a plantation worked by enslaved people, later transformed into a free labor colony under Quaker ownership. Adjacent to it stands the Pope-Leighey House, a mid-20th-century masterpiece designed by the renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Both homes, now overseen by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, provide visitors with a glimpse into different eras and architectural styles, inviting them to explore the rich layers of American history and design.
