English: The Mansion House Hotel was created in 1848 when furniture maker James Green bought the Bank of Alexandria building at 133 North Fairfax Street in Alexandria, Virginia and turned it into a hotel. In 1855 he expanded the hotel, adding a four-story addition to the east, making it the largest hotel in Alexandria.
During Union Army's occupation of Alexandria in the Civil War, the hotel was commandeered to serve as a hospital, which could serve up to 700 soldiers.
The expanded part of the dilapidated structure, which had become an apartment building called the Carlyle Apartments, was torn down in 1973 by the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority in the process of restoring Carlyle House next door and creating Carlyle House Historic Park.
