More than 170 photographs, drawings, and plans, accompanied by engaging commentary by a noted architectural historian, chronicle the development of the villa as a building type from ancient Roman times to the present day and capture some of the world's premier examples that range from the Villa of the Mysteries in Pompei to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and modern incarnations by Frank Lloyd Wright.
