Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Bank of Alexandria is a historic bank building located at 133 North Fairfax Street at the corner of Cameron Street in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. It was built in 1807, and was the first financial institution that the General Assembly of Virginia authorized. The Federal-style building consists of a three-story main block, with a two-story east wing. The main block is five bays wide and 7 bays deep. In 1848, James Green purchased the building and turned it into a hotel, then in 1855, he expanded it across the lawn of the Carlyle House next door, tripling the size of the Mansion House Hotel. The hotel was used as a hospital during the Civil War. In 1970, the expansion, by then an aging apartment building, was torn down by the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority to reveal Carlyle House while the original part of the building was saved from demolition. The remaining part of the bank building was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and was adaptively restored by OTV Inc. in 1980. (Description source: Plaque on site) |
