ALEXANDRIA, Va, August "a
This city's smallest residence, GEN.
tury-old structure at 523 Queen street
that is not much bigger than o good
sized doll house, is being remodeled
with a combination Of Colonial and
modern furnishings to cause its addi-
ton to the large list Of Alexandria's
show places.
Measuring exactly 7 feet 6 inches
in width and 48 feet deep. the small
brick structure, built in the first half
of the nineteenth century in space
between two houses of normal propor-
tions, has undergone a complete reno
vation during the past month.
AS remodeled, it contains three
rooms, several closets and a bath.
On the first floor is the living room,
with built-in bookshelves and closet,
and a combination kitchenette and
dining room. Folding-type shutters
are used to screen the kitchenette from
the dining room.
A bed room, hall closet and the
bath are located on the second floor.
To retain the Colonial atmosphere
Of the diminutive house. brick walls
on the first floor have been left ex-
posed, the woodwork in closets and on
the small stairway has been hand
paneled and the front Of the struc-
ture has been painted a shade Of
Williamsburg green" the color found
to have been used on early American
houses in the first capital Of Virginia.
Offsetting the Colonial furnishings,
are modern kitchen and bath fixtures,
electric lights and freshly plastered
walls on the second floor.
