In 1964, Marjorie Leighey of Virginia successfully campaigned to save her Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Pope-Leighey House from demolition due to the planned route of Interstate 66. Following her husband’s death, Leighey tirelessly rallied preservationists and gained public support for the house’s rescue. Ultimately, the Pope-Leighey House was carefully dismantled and relocated piece by piece to the Woodlawn property, a distance of 13 miles. This remarkable undertaking showcased Leighey’s dedication and resourcefulness. Today, the Pope-Leighey House remains open to the public at its Woodlawn location, standing as a testament to her efforts. Her actions highlighted the crucial need to protect modern architectural heritage for future generations.
