Christ Church
Religious Sites, Alexandria
Fodor's Review:
Both Washington and Lee were pewholders in this Episcopal church. (Washington paid @36 and 10 shillings -- a lot of money in those days -- for Pew 60.) Built in 1773, Christ Church is a good example of Georgian church architecture. It has a fine Palladian window, an interior balcony, and an English wrought-brass-and-crystal chandelier. Docents give tours during visiting hours.
