Alexander and Clara acquired the Villa Aurelia, Largo di Porta S. Pancrazio, in Rome.
The villa, built in about 1650, and was partly destroyed during the Risorgimento and then rebuilt in 1856. At the end of the 19th century it became the property of Clara Jessup Heyland, from Philadelphia, wife of Major Alexander Heyland. In 1908 the building was renovated and at that point it was renamed Villa Aurelia. Upon the death of Clara Jessup Heyland, the villa was left to the American Academy. In the meantime one of the founders of the Academy, J. Pierpont Morgan, had bought a vast expanse of land south of Porta S. Pancrazio and it was here, on Via Angelo Masina, that construction of the new building for the Academy began in 1912.
