Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: 1323 Duke Street, located at the corner of South West Street in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia,, was built in 1888 by Emmanuel Jones. The 1300 block of Duke Street has varied history: in 1828 slave dealers Isaac Franklin and John Armfield ran their business from a building at #1315; Armfield bought Black slaves and shipped them to Franklin in New Orleans. J. Russel ran his slave trading business from #1323. By 1835, the entire block was owned by slave dealers. When the Union Army occupied Alexandria during the Civil War, they built L'Ouverture Hospital in 1864. The hospital was named for Toussaint L'Ouverture, the Haitian revolutionary who fought for Haiti's independence from France. The hospital served injured soldiers of the United States Colored Troops (USCT) and could accommodate up to 600 patients. It also served African American citizens, many of whom had escaped from slavery in the South. Shiloh Baptist Church had its first meetings, as the Shiloh Society, in the hospital's mess hall. James Ballard, the clerk of the church, bought #1323 in 1920. The church purchased it in 1957; it is currently used for senior housing under the name "Beasley Square".
