Alexandria-Washington Lodge No 22, A. F. & A. M.
Painting of Thomas, Sixth Lord Fairfax Baron of Cameron, of Greenway Court, Va., born in England in 1690, and emigrated to Virginia in 1743.
In 1749, together with Lawrence Washington, half brother of George, William Fairfax, Gerard Alexander, John Carlyle and others, he founded the city of Alexandria. Painting was executed in London in 1730 by the world renowned artist, Sir Josiah Reynolds, and is the only original portrait of the famous old Baron extant. The British Government secured permission from the Lodge several years ago to have a copy made, which now hangs in the House of Lords. Lord Fairfax died in 1781. |
