Description: Most of Wrights later homes are designed on a particular grid pattern. The Pope-Leighey home is set up on a 2’ by 4’ rectangular grid. The floor is poured concrete with hot water pipes inside so Wright’s unique radiant heating system could be used. In the winter the whole floor is heated with these pipes in a way that makes the home very comfortable. I was in the home early this year when the heating system was on and I was amazed at how well the system worked. My feet were toasty warm and the whole house felt very comfortable. www.peterbeers.net/interests/flw_rt/Virginia/pope_leighey...
