Host your next meeting in the Pope-Leighey House and celebrate 150 years of Frank Lloyd Wright! During the 1930s, Frank Lloyd Wright set his formidable attention towards designing affordable middle-class residences. He used an open floor plan and emphasis on natural light to redefine American architecture and create a new “Usonian” style for modern living. Commissioned in 1939 and acquired by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1964, the Pope-Leighey House, nestled in a corner of our property, is an iconic example of that style. This house offers a unique space in which to experience the architectural wonder that propelled Frank Lloyd Wright to the forefront of mid-century culture and design. The intimate space is perfect for a corporate retreat, accommodating up to 18 people.
