The Bank of Alexandria is a notable historic banking edifice located in Alexandria, Virginia, erected in 1807. Its design includes a three-story central section measuring five bays in width and seven bays in depth, accompanied by a two-story wing on the east side. In 1848, ownership transferred to James Green, who transformed the building into the Mansion House Hotel. Green significantly enlarged the property in 1855 by extending it over the neighboring Carlyle House lawn, effectively tripling the hotel's capacity. Throughout the Civil War, the establishment functioned as a medical facility. By the late 1960s, the expanded portion had deteriorated into an outdated apartment complex and was subsequently demolished by the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority to facilitate the restoration of Carlyle House, a project completed in 1976.
The original bank building was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and is included within the boundaries of the Alexandria Historic District.
