The Historic Duvall House is located at 305 Cameron Street in the heart of Old Town Alexandria. It lies three blocks east of Historic Christ Church, across from the Town Hall-Market Square complex, and is now home to El Alcazar Antiques.

Built circa 1750 by William and Nancy Duvall, this stately town mansion was in use as a tavern when The Fathers of The City of Alexandria entertained George Washington there in 1783. Ten years later the handsome brick building was sold to The Bank of Alexandria, the first chartered bank in Virginia. Subsequently it became the residence and office of Alexandria's first Collector of Customs, Mr. Charles Lee, brother to "Light Horse Harry", and uncle to Robert E. Lee. It is now owned by Colonel and Mrs. Robert E. Bartos, USA Retired.

Hold social and corporate functions throughout the historic rooms and garden of the Duvall House. Situated among the wonderful antiques of El Alcazar, approximately 65 people can be comfortably accommodated for breakfast, luncheon or dinner, and 120 for a standing buffet. Public parking is readily available at three lots within a one and half block radius.
