William Gregory Building (first), 400-402 King Street, Alexandria, Independent City, Virginia
Summary
Significance: This double building was built by a prosperous Alexandria merchant who was also a veteran of the War of 1812. While the building is decked in neon and latter-day advertisements, its fine detailing recalls the finest of Alexandria's Federal style. It was one of two buildings associated with William Gregory on this block; see HABS report on the adjoining 404-06 King Street (VA-690).
