TOWN ESTABLISHMENT“Alexandria is built
precisely on the plan of Philadelphia and is indeed
frequently called Philadelphia in miniature. The houses have a mean appearance. There is ... scarcely one handsome
mansion in place. A great many of the habitations are
of wood and are called frame houses from their being built in a frame on moveable foundation.” - English Traveler 1824
