Location:Lyceum
201 S. Washington St.
Event Details:Construction of the Murray-Dick-Fawcett house began in 1772, with additions in 1784, 1797 and 1854 and has changed very little since. It is one of the oldest, least altered wood-frame buildings in Northern Virginia and was acquired by the City of Alexandria in 2017 for use as a historic site and vest pocket park. This lecture by retired City Planner Al Cox will explain some of the physical and archival research that preceded the recent restoration of the exterior building envelope, show discoveries made during this phase of construction, and discuss the next steps for documentation and interpretation. Doors open at 7 p.m. and lecture begins at 730 p.m.
