This unassuming home on S Lee St hiding behind the trees is actually over 4000 sq ft and sits on a large lot. It’s an Italianate style home built in 1800.

This building at the corner of N Pitt and Queen is a law office and real estate office, but has a great color combination.

The Colonial Market and Fair is an 18th century marketplace that takes place annually on the grounds of Mount Vernon. Food, entertainment, and plenty of shopping. I found an innkeeper’s sign (re-creation) for my office by J. Foster Historic Signs.

George Washington’s Town House was where he stayed when in Alexandria for business. This is a reproduction built in the 1960s based on the original and on the same lot. Mick Fleetwood rented it in the 90s while he ran his blues club called “Fleetwood’s”.

These two townhomes on N Fairfax have a rat’s nest of cables in front of it.

This brick wall clearly needs to be shored up.
