Falls Church, VA

The City of Falls Church dates back about 350 years. This "Little City" is undergoing transformation. Many of the older buildings are being torn down and being replaced with mixed use condos, apartments and a supermarket. There is little to recommend the preservations of these buildings from an architectural point of view, but they do represent the livelihoods of their occupants. The purpose of many of these pictures is to document the old Falls Church before it is completely given to transformation.

For anyone interested, I have just published the images in a book. The book is available from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Little-City-Falls-Church-Virginia/dp/1540323722/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2Y7NFHVP9OJHR&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ZW6jL5wZ_hzARIZ2OAyShJct5FtSj9NQN3hTstGMCbE72c9A8wYfWWPnImGcN16kTE2kAj-0dKR2gnIgTkDvNT1rGMkmiIHAtVp07aH2l6BtpYsvkgngOA7QFgOn65ohjA504pk0ExBxj18_X2WAeO0hx0B1Eyem_wmbJDbNTylTFzhDwsI7Yzt3Vb6ytehcH8V1ts_OSKINob6CdPYnjlk620kw-D-pgYME67rqyW8.ONubo30BDFG1Cc3wnFNk5CKW58ypaPVG5P3Z5ePYZD8&dib_tag=se&keywords=james+cassatt&qid=1715647434&s=books&sprefix=james+cassatt%2Cstripbooks%2C83&sr=1-1.
