Alexandria: Old Town Cobblestones and the Potomac Port
Alexandria sits on the Potomac River directly south of Washington, D.C., and traces its incorporation to 1749. Old Town, the historic core running along King Street and the waterfront, retains hundreds of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century buildings, many built of Flemish-bond brick. George Washington maintained a pied-a-terre in the city and attended Christ Church here; his Mount Vernon estate is eight miles south along the George Washington Memorial Parkway.
The Torpedo Factory Art Center on the waterfront occupies a building that produced naval torpedoes during both World Wars before being converted to studios in 1974. It houses roughly 80 artists working in open studios across three floors. Alexandria's Carlyle neighborhood, redeveloped since the late 1990s, hosts the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office headquarters and gives the city a strong federal-contractor economy alongside its tourism base.
The Metro's Yellow and Blue lines cross through Alexandria at Braddock Road, King Street, Eisenhower Avenue, and Van Dorn Street stations. Together with Amtrak and VRE service through the 1905 Union Station on King Street, the city functions as a commuter hub for much of Northern Virginia. The National Inventors Hall of Fame Museum inside the USPTO complex displays exhibits on patent history and modern invention.
