Historic Alexandria is a treasure trove of early buildings that creates a unique way of life for its citizens and provides enjoyment for thousands of people who visit this special community every year. There are more than 200 structures in Alexandria that were built before 1820--most of them in Old Town. There are only a few other communities in the United States that have as many existing examples of Georgian and Federal period architecture. Each Alexandria homeowner has the privilege and obligation of preserving the historic character of our town and the beauty of its architectural heritage.
"Is this siding original?""I've got to replace these old windows...""I wonder if they'll let me add a family room to this house.""Where do I find someone good to repair this old brick wall?"
"Is this siding original?""I've got to replace these old windows...""I wonder if they'll let me add a family room to this house.""Where do I find someone good to repair this old brick wall?"
Depending on what your needs are in tackling historic preservation issues with a certain property or building, there are a number of resources in this area that may be of use to you. Keep in mind that historic preservation has many benefits... aesthetic, educational, and financial just to name a few... but that it is also a process which is regulated by legal codes and guidelines in most areas. Gathering information on your options and the process is always the best place to start.
City Resources
State Resources
Federal Resources
More Resources
Alexandria Archaeology's preservation activities include review of development projects and building permits to determine their impact on archaeological resources. The Archaeological Protection Code and Metal Detecting Ordinance, and the work of Alexandria Archaeology in research, survey and excavation, help to preserve the City's past for future generations. City archaeologists work with volunteers in this endeavor. Also learn about State and Federal laws regarding archaeological preservation.
The Old and Historic District, designated in 1946, was the third historic district in the United States, after Charleston and New Orleans. The historic African American community known as Uptown was designated as the Parker-Gray Historic District in 1984, and in 2008 was approved for listing on the Virginia Landmarks Register. It is expected to join the Old and Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.
The facades of Alexandria's historic houses and other buildings are protected by law. In the years since the establishment of the Historic Districts and the architectural review process, many valuable structures have been saved from demolition and inappropriate alteration. Owners wishing to make exterior changes to buildings in the Old and Historic District and the Parker-Gray District must present their plans for approval to the Board of Architectural Review in the Department of Planning and Zoning. Owners should contact preservation staff at the earliest stage of their project. The Planning Department can provide useful information, including a list of preservation-related contractors who have worked in the historic districts.
The Historic Alexandria Foundation was incorporated in 1954 "to preserve, protect and restore structures of historic and architectural interest in and associated with the City of Alexandria, Virginia, to preserve antiquities and generally to foster and promote interest in Alexandria's heritage." The Foundation has many important programs, including plaquing historic homes, providing grants for historic preservation, providing information and legal assistance for the donation of easements, and providing assistance to homeowners in caring for their historic properties. The Foundation depends upon volunteers to carry out many of its activities.
The Plaquing program was initiated during the era of Federal urban renewal programs, which threatened demolition of the oldest parts of the city. In addition to the bronze plaques, intense lobbying by the Historic Alexandria Foundation and the Old Town Civic Association served to limit the advance of Urban Renewal destruction in the 1960s to three blocks along King Street, and today historic homes and shops are being restored instead of demolished.
The program continues today, with additional structures judged on their merits for inclusion within the ranks of plaqued houses. If you think your house merits a bronze plaque, contact the Historic Alexandria Foundation or the Office of Historic Alexandria to learn more about this program.
A preservation easement is a means by which the owner of historic property can be assured of continued preservation after the property passes from his or her stewardship. Preservation easements also enable owners to realize significant federal, state, and local tax savings.
Through the easement program, a private owner has the opportunity to guarantee the perpetual protection of an important historic resource without giving up ownership, use, or enjoyment of the property. The resource remains in private hands and on the tax rolls, but its existence and sympathetic treatment are secured for the benefit of future generations. Furthermore, the current and future owners of the property may be able to take advantage of significant financial benefits associated with easement donation.
National Historic Landmarks are buildings, sites, districts, structures, and objects that have been determined by the Secretary of the Interior to be nationally significant in American history and culture. This program is administered by the National Park Service In Alexandria, the Alexandria Historic District, Gadsby's Tavern, Christ Church and the Gerald R. Ford, Jr. House have been designated as National Historic Landmarks. Other examples of Landmarks that illustrate important contributions to the Nation's historical development include Mount Vernon, Pearl Harbor, the Apollo Mission Control Center, Alcatraz, and the Martin Luther King Birthplace.
Nationally significant properties help us understand the history of the Nation and illustrate the nationwide impact of events or persons associated with the property, its architectural type or style, or information potential. A nationally significant property is of exceptional value in representing or illustrating an important theme in the history of the Nation. Properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places are primarily of State and local significance.
More than 40 Alexandria districts, sites, buildings and structures are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the United States of America's official list of historic properties worthy of preservation. The National Park Service maintains this register of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture. These places contribute to the understanding of the historical and cultural journey of this Nation. Today, the National Register consists of more than 65,000 properties, with approximately 1,800 properties added annually.
One focus of Alexandria Legacies, Historic Alexandria's Oral History program, has been to interview some of Alexandria's leaders in historic preservation.

Cumbrian loan shark must pay back £50k or face prison term
Last updated at 13:30, Friday, 27 April 2012
A loan shark must pay back more than £50,000 or face 18 months in prison.
Related: Cumbrian loan shark who made £36,000 from money lending avoids jail
Paul Gilpin appeared at Carlisle Crown Court today for a Proceeds of Crime hearing.
Gilpin, of Thorny Road, Thornhill, near Egremont, ran his business for nearly eight years, netting about £100 a week on top of his regular wages from his job in the construction industry.
He had more than 40 customers, to whom he lent relatively small amounts of money, usually for short periods of time.
The loans - some charged at 70 per cent - enabled him to buy two houses.
The court was told Gilpin's realisable assets amounted to £50,543.11.
Last year Gilpin was given a nine-month prison sentence, suspended for two years and ordered to do 250 hours' unpaid work in the community after he pleaded guilty to carrying on a consumer credit business without the necessary licence and laundering the money he made from it.
Gilpin must pay the money by October 1.
The prosecution was brought by Birmingham Trading Standards.
After the hearing, Angela Jones, Trading Standards service manager at Cumbria County Council, said: "This result is great news for Cumbria Trading Standards and the Illegal Money Lending team, we hope that this will send a stark warning to those engaged in illegal money lending that we will do all we can to tackle this despicable crime.
"We will continue to work in partnership to target loan sharks operating in our communities and prevent the most vulnerable from being trapped in debt and misery to unlicensed lenders."
And Tony Quigley, head of the England Illegal Money Lending Team, said: "Loan sharks are motivated purely by greed.
"They do not offer a community service and cause nothing but misery. Through proceeds of crime legislation we are able to hit illegal money lenders where it hurts, preventing them from profiting through crime.
"Today's result sends a clear message that we will tackle this crime and strip offenders of their ill-gotten gains."

Water Conservation Pilot: "Catch My Drip" Program
Quality of Life Study - Green Neighborhood Assessment ToolThe Quality of Life Study began in 1993 and was intended to assess basic neighborhood indicators within Charlotte's urban "City Within a City" geography. The study has been continually updated and in 2012 was collaboratively expanded to include Mecklenburg County and the cities and towns within its boundaries.
The data was also expanded to include more than 80 neighborhood scale variables, 16 of which comprise a first-of-their-kind set of environmental indicators categorized as waste, water, energy, mobility and built environment. Included in these variables are household energy, natural gas and water use. Provided by our partners at
Duke Energy,
Piedmont Natural Gas and
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities, these indicators provide an unprecedented view of the consumption characteristics of households within the Charlotte region. Quality of Life Study Interactive Dashboard Neighborhood Energy Challenge The Neighborhood Energy Challenge encourages neighbors to join forces to develop innovative and practical strategies for improving their neighborhoods' energy use. Neighborhoods were competitively selected to receive $80,000 each to carry out their energy efficiency strategies.
Innovative components included distribution of energy efficient products, bicycle rack installation, appliance replacement, educational seminars, construction of an off-the-grid community shelter and CFL/LED light bulb replacement. Additionally, the program provided home efficiency upgrades, including weatherization improvements for 270 homes that achieved an average of 18 percent increase in the energy efficiency of their building. NEC Participating Neighborhoods:
The program received a 2011 Sustainable Program award from the Charlotte Business Journal. Additional funding opportunities available through the program are to be determined. Power2 Live GreenThis unique program awarded up to $10,000 per neighborhood to implement direct sustainability improvements while preparing for future sustainability initiatives. Participation required neighborhoods to prepare detailed proposals for implementation and applications were scored based on energy savings, community involvement, long-term sustainability and project design. Selected neighborhoods were required to establish Neighborhood Energy Efficiency Teams, host a community cleanup event and participate in the creation of a community-based Sustainable Vision Plan (SVP).
The City of Charlotte partnered with
Sustain Charlotte to facilitate creation of the Sustainable Vision Plans. Power2 Live Green Sustainable Vision Plans:

KRE-ALKALYN® EFX CREATINE Just Makes Sense. Look At All The Advantages:
Kre-Alkalyn® EFX is "buffered" creatine that does not convert into creatinine prior to reaching skeletal muscle tissue. It is packaged in a purple capsule that can be administered orally. Kre-Alkalyn® EFX is manufactured exclusively by All American Pharmaceutical Corporation.
Why a Critical Adjustment to Creatine's pH level Means You Finally Get The Results You Crave...Without Puffy Bloating, Cramping or Loading or Cycling!
Many bodybuilders, and even some supplement companies, still don't know what scientists have already known for decades: creatine is chemically unstable in liquids. Its molecules rapidly convert to creatinine - a useless "bio-waste" - once activated with fluids or in your stomach acids. You're left with fewer active creatine molecules and, even worse, potential side-effects that can all but wreck your training or performance!
Now what if creatine could be completely stabilized? It would mean no need to load or cycle. And you'd only need a small amount since the full dose could finally reach your muscle cells intact. Best of all, it would eliminate any chance for all those nasty side effects!
How KRE-ALKALYN® EFX Solved This Problem
The research behind Kre-Alkalyn® EFX's patent proves that creatine's speed of conversion or breakdown into creatinine (a mostly useless byproduct) is directly related to its pH - the lower the pH, the faster it converts. Furthermore, the conversion rates slow dramatically as the pH of the creatine is raised above 7 and stops completely above pH 12.
Here's why: A pH level above 12 represents the perfect ratio of Hydrogen ions to Hydroxyl ions to stop the chemical reaction of: Creatine + H20 = Creatinine.
The unique "buffering" agents in Kre-Alkalyn®® EFX effectively mop up the excess Hydrogen ions and prevent them from lowering pH. In other words, it gives creatine the ability to resist changes in pH that it normally doesn't have.
This protects the creatine molecules during transport - delivering them intact to the bloodstream so they can reach your muscle cells with 100% potency. That's the power of pH-Xact™ delivery technology!
The rationale behind Kre-Alkalyn® EFX is "creatine on demand", i.e., at the times your body needs it, which is why it requires "no loading". Taken 1 or 1.5 hours prior to physical exercise, Kre-Alkalyn® provides all the needed creatine into the blood stream, ready to enter muscle cells. At low doses (1.5 – 3 grams) Kre-Alkalyn® boosts endurance and training capacity for up to three hours. Most importantly, Kre-Alkalyn® results in strength and performance enhancement without water retention or any of the other common side-effects. Here finally was the perfect creatine.
The Proof Is In!
Kre-Alkalyn® goes head-to-head with Creatine Monohydrate and wins hands down!
Twenty-four members of the Bulgarian National Weightlifting Team were selected to participate in a landmark double-blind clinical study comparing Kre- Alkalyn® to standard creatine monohydrate. The final results were shocking!
In just 60 days, the Kre-Alkalyn® group experienced an overall average strength increase of 28.5% above those in the creatine monohydrate group! Remember, these weren't "newbies". They were all world-class competitors.
Think about it. If Kre-Alkalyn® worked this well for these elite Olympic athletes, just imagine what it could do for you!
