Oldest store front?

Oldest store front?

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.
