William Kent at Houghton Hall, William Kent: Designing Georgian Britain
William Kent: Designing Georgian Britain, on view at the Bard Graduate Center: Decorative Arts, Design History, Material Culture from September 20, 2013 to February 9, 2014, is the first major exhibition to examine the life and career of one of the most influential designers in eighteenth-century Britain. Organized by the Bard Graduate Center in collaboration with the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the exhibition is curated by Susan Weber (BGC) and Julius Bryant (V&A).
Houghton Hall, Kent's most important early commission for the grand estate of Sir Robert Walpole, is one of the key buildings in the history of Palladian architecture in England.

I suspect you mean Hopetoun not Houghton. Houghton has never been owned by the Hope family.
