Pope Villa, Federal period residence in Lexington, United States
The Pope Villa features a perfect square layout with a domed circular rotunda positioned at the center of its second story level.
Benjamin Henry Latrobe designed this residence in 1811 for Senator John Pope, incorporating elements from American neoclassical architecture into its structure.
The villa represents early American residential design principles, combining Federal and Neoclassical styles with influences from Italian architect Andrea Palladio.
The Blue Grass Trust for Historic Preservation maintains the property at 326 Grosvenor Avenue and offers guided tours of the building.
This residence stands as one of only three remaining houses in the United States designed by Benjamin Henry Latrobe, who shaped the U.S. Capitol.
