On the southeast corner of S. Fairfax Street and Prince Street is the remaining shell of James Green's extensive furniture factory, completed in 1836. On the south wall, the metal initials 'J G' are used at the end of an interior supporting rod. During the Civil War, the huge, brick building served as a military prison.
