The plaques were originated by the Historic Alexandria Foundation during the period of federal urban renewal programs when many historic buildings were demolished. By plaquing buildings, the Foundation made people aware that an irreplaceable part of our cultural heritage was in jeopardy. The advance of urban renewal was halted, but the plaquing program has continued. To apply for a plaque, contact the Historic Alexandria Foundation at 703-549-5811.
