515 North Washington Street, Historic cotton mill building in Old Town Alexandria, United States.
The brick structure at 515 North Washington Street extends over four floors and features Corinthian columns at its main entrance.
The Mount Vernon Manufacturing Company constructed this building in 1848 as Alexandria's first cotton mill, employing 150 workers with 11-hour daily shifts.
The building transformed from a cotton mill to a Civil War military prison, then a brewery, and now contains 25 residential apartments named The Mill.
Located near King Street Metro Station, the building provides easy access to Washington DC while offering modern residential amenities in a historic setting.
A mannequin called Oscar stands in the building's cupola, remaining through multiple renovations since its mysterious placement decades ago.
