While this home looks skinny, Internet real estate sites say it has over 3500 square feet! It was built in 1840 and is clearly haunted. 😉

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”.

The ice well at Gadsby’s Tavern is located at the corner of Royal and Cameron. It offers a glimpse into how ice was kept cold in the 18th century.

I was recently reminded that this little house on Wilkes, wedged in the middle, was in an episode of the local PBS affiliate (WETA) show called “If You Lived Here.” Look it up if you want to see inside!

I love the color of this house on the corner of Jefferson and S Fairfax streets. The Internet says it was built in 1900.
