It was built previous to 1871 OF
frame over brick and it was
the home of Richard Philip
Fendall, a celebrated attorney
of that day and one of the
incorporates of the Bank of
Alexandria. The house was
decided to Richard Bland Lee in
1892 and for the next half cen
tury was occupied by various
members of the Lee family. 1t
vas in this house that a large
group of the citizens of Alexan-
dria met on the night General
Washington died to make ar
rangements for the part that
city was to take in the last
rites of their famous fellow
citizen.
Many Of the mansions to be

and other unique features.
Among those to be shown are
the gracious dormer windoWed
