Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. sent a good deal of detail about the most recent Mystery Photo:
“Today’s mystery photo is of an Episcopal church, Christ Church, located in the Alexandria, Va. historic district known as the ‘Old Town.’ It was built between 1767 and 1773. This is really the back of the church. The entrance is on the other side of the building. Because it was originally built on the outskirts of Alexandria, the church was often referred to by locals as ‘The Church in the Woods.’ It was more formally called the Fairfax Church until it was renamed to Christ Church in 1816. This church is one of few that could boost that ‘George Washington worshiped here.’ After the church was completed, George Washington was one of its original parishioners, and he purchased a box pew that visitors can sit in today. Its interior was spared the ravages of the Civil War. Because of George Washington’s affiliation with the church, the Union troops held and protected the church during the war, and as a result, much of the interior was spared.”
The photo came from Rob Ponder of Duluth. Others recognizing it include George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Lou Camerio, Lilburn; Jim Savadelis, Duluth; and Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill.
