The Virginia Center for Architecture - Now on Permanent Exhibit:

The House That Pope Built

   The Virginia Center for Architecture celebrates two years of bringing architecture to life with the opening of a permanent exhibit on its headquarters building, built in 1919 by architect John Russell Pope, FAIA.

    The House That Pope Built includes photographs, narrative, and other educational media that shed light on the house -- a 27,000-square-foot Tudor-Revival mansion -- in addition to John Kerr Branch, the patron who commissioned its construction; the architect; the house's interiors; its setting on Richmond's historic Monument Avenue; and Compton Wynyates, the 15th/16th-century English country house that inspired the building's design.
