Halloween has arrived in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, where even the historic townhouses get into the spirit of the season. A mysterious figure wearing a top hat hangs from the black front door of this brick home on South Fairfax Street, illuminated by the warm glow of two traditional lanterns. The elegant doorway and unusual decoration give the entrance a slightly sinister appearance, especially after dark. It’s a fitting scene for a neighborhood known for its centuries-old buildings, narrow streets, and ghost stories.
