the elevation on St. Asaph street, between
King and Prince streets, wheTe new houses
are l. he built by Dr. kiipstcin, take> away
another Of Ia. few remaining pieces Of the
hilltop on which Alexandria was originally
built. The lot opposite, alongside the old
Columbia engine house, is now the only Que

Prince, east of St. Asaph, and the others on
st. Asaph street, which were built before
the street was excavated, still remain, and
their high perches yet show the level from
which the street was cut down.
