This is just a question I have wondered about. Could this arched doorway possibly be the oldest store front still standing in downtown Alexandria?
I may be way off base with this because the structure compares with the arched windows with steel shutters on the block fronting Third Street.
It’s sort of a which came first.
But any way we are looking at the oldest business structures left standing, I would think.
Is it not interesting when one takes a moment to contemplate their surroundings?
We see things that we normally take for granted in a different perspective.
