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.

The museum presents exhibits about Alexandria's social life, including the experiences of both prominent families and enslaved individuals who lived within these walls.

Guided tours operate from Wednesday through Sunday, allowing visitors to explore the furnished period rooms and the maintained historic garden.

During the Civil War, the residence transformed into a Union Army hospital where numerous soldiers received medical care between 1863 and 1865.
