Abstract
A speculation on the context of Eliza Johnson Pope's influence on the design of the villa by Benjamin Henry Latrobe that was built (and is still extant) in Lexington, Kentucky. This paper offers a political ideology associated with an educated, elite woman who was married to a Kentucky politician and turns an architectural design component into a connection with the rise of the American peace movement in the U.S. Too often the role of women in advancing peace is ignored in the flurry of historical incidences of women supporting or participating actively in war. By examining the few documents written and drawn by this great American architect, we might consider Eliza Pope's level of educational achievements and cosmopolitan attitudes about the anti-Federalist fervor that led to the War of 1812.
