Redevelopment of the area along their old railroad right-of-way prompted Norfolk Southern Properties to contract Engineering-Science Inc. to investigate the parcel near Duke Street and Holland Lane. In addition to documenting domestic and industrial contexts, the Hoof’s Run Bridge, a stone bridge from the Alexandria & Orange Railroad and the oldest bridge in Alexandria, was preserved. Also preserved, under Duke Street, is the beer cellar of the first lager brewery in Virginia (1858-1893).
