Bayne-Fowle House - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

The Bayne-Fowle House is a substantial masonry town house built in the 1850s for William Bayne, an Alexandria commission merchant. The house is architecturally significant as a little altered example of a wealthy merchant's residence of the mid-19th century. It is one of the few buildings in Old Town Alexandria to employ a stone facade. Of particular interest is the richly appointed suite of reception rooms on the first floor, comprising one of the finest mid-Victorian interiors in the state, complete with elaborate plasterwork and an unusual pendant arcade. The house was occupied by Northern troops during the Civil War. After the war it was confiscated by the Federal government and converted to a military hospital. The house once again became a private residence in 1871.
