Join MOSCDC for a fascinating visit to two remarkable historic homes located side-by-side in Alexandria, each with its own unique story. Pope-Leighey House: Designed in 1940 by world-renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the Pope-Leighey House is a beautiful example of his Usonian vision—simple, affordable, modern homes created for the American middle class. Originally built in Falls Church, the home was saved from demolition during the construction of Highway 66 and relocated to the grounds of Woodlawn. Today it stands as a preserved architectural treasure, showcasing Wright’s signature style, innovative design, and attention to natural materials. Woodlawn Estate: Just steps away, you’ll explore Woodlawn, a property originally gifted by George Washington to his nephew and step-granddaughter. Completed in 1805 and designed by William Thornton—the first architect of the U.S. Capitol—Woodlawn has lived many lives. Once a plantation, it later transformed into a thriving community of Quakers, freedmen, immigrants, and abolitionists working together before and during the Civil War. Today the site continues to evolve, sharing a more complete, inclusive story of all who lived and worked here.
This combined tour offers a rich look at architecture, history, and the lives that shaped these two extraordinary homes. R.S.V.P.: By Friday, December 12th, 2025.
Join MOSCDC at the Ukraine House for a special evening of culture and an opportunity to support the people of Ukraine. In addition, we will celebrate the upcoming Christmas and Chanukah season with a special Ukrainian touch.
