This church is located in historic downtown Alexandria. It has been here since 1795. During that time, it was part of Washington, DC. Currently, it's in Virginia. The church has a gothic architecture. Granite is seen widely throughout the main facade. In the back, there is a cemetery with Revolutionary War veterans including one unknown soldier. Thanks to the nearby virtual geocache, I have found this historic place.
