Mount Hope is a historic home located at Falls Church, Virginia. It was built in the 1830s, as a 1 1/2-story, frame I-house dwelling. It consists of three parts: a frame dwelling built about 1830; a 2 1/2-story, 3-bay, Gothic Revival brick dwelling built in 1869; and a 1-bay brick section that joins the two. The 1869 section features a pair of corbel topped chimneys that pierce the apex of the gable roof, which has a substantial overhang on all elevations. It also has a three-bay porch with low hipped roof across the front facade.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]
