Site No. 31  Lee Street Site


A new townhouse development on the 100 block of South Lee Street opened the door to 250 years of history. Originally part of the bay, the half block site provided evidence of the early wharf as well as 18th century land fill. Early in the next century, the Jamieson Bakery was built. Its cistern and ovens document how crackers for sailors' food were produced. A nearby tavern hosted seafaring peoples. Artifacts which once were used on the tavern tables, coins and musical instruments now are preserved in the Alexandria Archaeology Museum. Visit the new exhibit in the Museum.
