Property Description
Make your mark in one of Alexandria's most distinguished neighborhoods. Built in 1905 and nestled in the heart of the Garden District, this stately 4-bedroom, 3-bath Victorian home offers 3,174± heated square feet of Southern elegance, architectural detail, and deep historical significance.
Once the residence of Victor Lamkin, Mayor of Alexandria from 1929 to 1941, the home was a centerpiece of the city's social life—hosting some of the most glittering gatherings of the time. Distinguished military leaders Dwight D. Eisenhower and George Patton were among the notable guests who visited this graceful whitewashed structure during Lamkin's tenure.
Today, the property is known as The Gunnin Home. While still showcasing its historic charm, the home offers an incredible opportunity for restoration, preservation, or repurposing by a buyer who appreciates craftsmanship and character rarely found in modern construction.
