Branch House

Branch House

"Branch House" Located at 2501 Monument Avenue in Richmond, Virginia, USA, this convert|27000|sqft|m2|abbr=on. mansion was commissioned in 1916 by John Kerr Branch Jr.. The house is the work of architect John Russell Pope, and was finally completed in 1919. The house was designed in the Tudor-Jacobean style and remains one of a few works by Pope in which the original interior has survived. In 1953 the Branch family gifted the house to the United Givers Fund, which, in turn, sold the mansion to Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance in 1982. The house was once again sold in 2003, this time to the Virginia Center for Architecture Foundation. In 2005, the Virginia Center for Architecture opened, and provides exhibitions, tours, and lectures on architecture.
