St. Paul's Episcopal Church - Old Town, Alexandria

St. Paul's Episcopal Church began in 1809 in a small building on South Fairfax Street between Prince and Duke Streets. In 1817, one of the country's most famous architects, Benjamin Latrobe, was chosen to design the present church. He was born in England and came to this country in 1796. Appointed by President Jefferson in 1803 as surveyor of public buildings in Washington, D.C., Latrobe completed the U.S. Capitol begun by William Thorton and designed Statuary Hall. In 1807, he completed the White House, designed both porticos, and later restored the building after the War of 1812. An outstanding example of American architecture, inspired by the Gothic churches in Europe, St. Paul's is said to have been modeled after St. James Church, Piccadilly, London.
