Description
Item Description:Erected 1774. Alexandria was settled largely by Scotch merchants and sea-faring men. The Old Presbyterian Meeting House, located on South Fairfax Street, was built by them. It is one of the most beautiful of the Colonial churches and contains the oldest known church organ in use in America. The memorial services for George Washington were held here after his funeral in 1799
