Northern Virginia Hotel Corporation Records (MS178)

The Northern Virginia Hotel Corporation was incorporated in 1924 to "build, erect, construct, lease, or otherwise acquire, to manage, occupy, maintain and operate buildings for hotel purposes, apartment houses or office buildings." The principal officers, all residents of Alexandria, were: C. Page Waller, President and Director; Orlando H. Kirk, Vice President and Director; and J.T. Preston, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director. These records pertain exclusively to the construction and management of the 100-room George Mason Hotel, located at the corner of Prince and Washington Streets, in Alexandria, Virginia. The building no longer functions as a hotel; it currently serves as an office building.
