The Pope-Leighey House. This "Usonian" house was developed by Wright as a means of providing affordable housing for people of moderate means. Many innovative concepts, including spacious interiors, corner windows and a cantilevered roof, began here and were quickly adapted across America. Today the house can be viewed as an origin of ideas that have influenced modern American homes. In 1965 the house was relocated to the grounds of Woodlawn Plantation, removing it from the path of a highway project. Owned and operated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
