Lee-Fendall House, Historic house museum in Old Town Alexandria, United States.
The Lee-Fendall House features Greek Revival architecture with a symmetrical facade, ornate columns, and detailed cornices on its original half-acre property.
Philip Richard Fendall constructed this residence in 1785 using enslaved labor, creating a home that housed 37 Lee family members over multiple generations.
