Privett Place (Historical Marker)

Here follows the inscription written on this trailside historical marker:

Riley Ambrose Privett Jr.
August 20, 1930 - March 28, 2004
In recognition of his kindness, dedication, loyalty and generosity of spirit, we hereby name this courtyard PRIVETT PLACE. Forever may he rest in peace.

Here follows an excerpt from the "Jaybird's Jottings" blog as written by Jay Roberts:

Old Town Alexandria Commemorative Plaques:
Privett Place
Behind 110 N. Royal

This plaque is located in the courtyard of the block of N. Royal, King, N. Pitt and Cameron. Locally, the best identifier is perhaps Pat Troy’s Bar and Restaurant. Their outdoor dining is in the courtyard, and the plaque can be seen from there.

I’m not sure who Mr. Privett was, but he obviously made an impact on people’s lives.
