Another chilly day in Old Town. This stretch of Victorian homes on S Pitt looks like it belongs in DC.

This row of homes looks all snuggled up together in the cold weather.

I couldn’t find any information about this very large home on Duke other than it was last sold in 1967. I have a feeling it belongs to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church around the corner (this building backs up to the church).

The Scottish flags are coming out! Named after the Alexander family that owned the land, the Scottish heritage is strong here. This coming Saturday will be the Scottish Christmas Walk Parade.

This single family home on S Pitt was built in 1939. It looks as though they’ve added on over the years.

Quick trip to Philadelphia for the Christmas Village.

Happy Thanksgiving. The streets of Alexandria are quiet today; like this row of homes on Wolfe.

Our 28th anniversary dinner and dessert at Bastille Brasserie. Also watched Wicked and it was amazing.

The Community Presbyterian Church on Oronoco isn’t currently in use. The church disassociated with the National Capital Presbytery in 2022. It looks like it’s been sat vacant even longer to me.

The City of Alexandria’s Christmas tree at the market square in front of City Hall. It’s an artificial tree standing 40 feet tall and adorned with 40,000 lights.

These are the doors to a (now defunct) coal chute to the basement. Even though coal stopped being used to heat homes sometime in the 1950s or 60s, many homes in this area still have these remnants.

Santa arrived on the trolley for the tree lighting at city hall!

Pops Ice Cream has been in business since the 1940s. The owner catered events at the White House, serving First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.

The Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum. This apothecary was owned and operated by the same family from 1792 to 1933. The contents of the museum are almost exactly as they were when the shop shut down. Tours include the 2nd floor where they manufactured medicines.
