George Washington aided in surveying the streets of the historic town of
Alexandria, of which King Street is the principal one and the business thoroughfare.
Here are found some fine types of old Colonial residences, among them the Marshall
House, which recalls the tragic circumstances of the killing of Col. Ellsworth
of the New York Zouaves, May 24th, 1861, as he attempted to capture the only
Confederate flag flying in the City.
