Pope Villa

Latrobe helped develop American architecture through his designs of the White House and the U.S. Capitol building. and He was the first professional architect and engineer to work in America. Him being the designer of these famous buildings in our nation's capital shows his importance. 

 The plans for the hallway leading to the rooms changed to a less common design. Large windows in the drawing and dining room allow natural night to shine through. There is a very interesting layout and it is evident space is efficiently used. The lower level of the home is smaller than the top because the servants resided there, while the wealthy was on the upper level of the home. 

 The wood block wallpaper gives the interior more depth. Seeing it at a small scale rather than a larger one was disappointing because it looked like it used to be a very interesting aspect of the room.
