Old Town Alexandria
Heritage District · Alexandria, Virginia
A tobacco port laid out in 1749 on the Potomac, and one of the first three districts in the United States to be made a National Historic Landmark — with Charleston and the French Quarter. King Street runs a mile from the Metro down to the water past eighteenth and nineteenth-century brick, and it is a working high street rather than a preserved one, which is what separates it from most historic districts.
