Frank Lloyd Wright's Pope-Leighey House is a new and comprehensive look at one of Wright's most important designs. The Pope-Leighey house, completed in 1941 for Charlotte and Loren Pope, was one of Wright's earliest Usonian houses. In Wright's words these houses were designed  "for the family of moderate income." The book presents previously unpublished correspondence and documents from the house files of Charlotte and Loren plus a detailed discussion of the critical role played by Marjorie and Robert Leighey, the second owners of the house. The book includes numerous photographs and exhibits detailing the design, construction and relocations of the Pope-Leighey house.
