Here follows an excerpt from the "Jaybird's Jottings" blog in 2010 as written by Jay Roberts:
Old Town Alexandria Commemorative Plaques:
Washington Purchased Lot

Washington purchased this lot in 1763. An interesting observation is that this one, and his town house on the 500 block of Cameron, are symmetrical counterparts, if you will.
