Built in 1905 and nestled in the heart of the Garden District, this stately 4-bedroom, 3-bath Victorian home offers 3,174± heated square feet of Southern elegance, architectural detail, and deep historical significance. Once the residence of Victor Lamkin, Mayor of Alexandria from 1929 to 1941, the home was a centerpiece of the city’s social life—hosting some of the most glittering gatherings of the time.
