Woodlawn & Frank Lloyd Wright’s Pope-Leighey House

"Beautiful Christmas tour of a Frank Lloyd Wright home led by Shawn. The house was decorated and appeared like it would be in the 1940s. Very Inspired by Wright's use of wood, light, and space. Very reminiscent of Japanese architecture and very minimalistic. Wright emphasized the living room as a center of the family home to create social cohesion. Everything in this home he built emphasized purpose and simplicity. The floating roof for the carport was impressive and the entrance area for the tour. Hot apple cider was provided while we waited for the tour to start. Sean provided detailed and sentimental information of the past owners of the house, its history, and how it was a "home". It was very enlightening and heart felt. The staff was very professional and courteous. The price of the tour was $15 a person and the gift ship items were fairly priced. Bathrooms were a walking distance from the tour area."

"Had an incredibly delightful afternoon, visiting and hearing the story of the pope Leighy house. We had the worlds best docent. She was a frank Loyd Wright, Devotee. Kim Groner was an excellent communicator and storyteller. Highly recommend a visit."

"We came here to tour the Pope-Leighey House, and we had a great time. Having visited many other Frank Lloyd Wright houses, this one was very nice for being much more approachable than so many of them. It being comparatively smaller means you don’t feel overwhelmed but can still enjoy all the little architectural flairs that mark Wright’s other houses. We had Susan as our guide, and she was great. Very knowledgeable and good at keeping things moving. Although it was under construction when we went, the majority of the tour is inside anyway, so you don’t miss much. And best of all, this house has lots of chairs to sit down in and enjoy the house while you get the context narrative. I wish more house museums followed this idea."

"Wonderful tour and truly amazing architectural features! Loved the insight into his personality and priorities that drove his amazing architectural designs. Highly recommend visiting this site."

"We went on a field trip with our homeschooling group here and absolutely loved it! It was the perfect experience for all ages. It's never too early or too late to learn about sustainable farming and to care about where our food comes from. Thank you for the great time!"
