I made this photograph last month while on assignment in Alexandria, Va. The Alexandria City Hall is seen reflected in a window of historic Gadsby’s Tavern. 

I always seem to come away with at least one reflection shot when taking pictures in Alexandria. Gadsby’s Tavern, like Alexandria itself, is full of history.

According to the  Gadsby’s Tavern Web site,  “The site known as Gadsby’s Tavern consists of two buildings, a (circa) 1785 tavern and  the 1792 City Hotel. Named after Englishman John Gadsby, an entrepreneur who leased the buildings and operated them as tavern keeper from 1796’s til 1808, the tavern and hotel were the center of Alexandria’s economic, political and  social life in the late-18th and early-19th centuries.

Notable visitors include George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison & James Monroe.

Quite a lot to reflect on the day after July Fourth! For another window photo taken in Alexandria, please check my  Windows in Old Town post.
