The Northern Virginia Hotel Corporation was incorporated in 1924 to "build, erect, construct, lease, or otherwise acquire,
to manage, occupy, maintain and operate buildings for hotel purposes, apartment houses or office buildings." The principal
officers, all residents of Alexandria, were: C. Page Waller, President and Director; Orlando H. Kirk, Vice President and Director;
and J.T. Preston, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director. These records pertain exclusively to the construction and management
of the 100-room George Mason Hotel, located at the corner of Prince and Washington Streets, in Alexandria, Virginia. The building
no longer functions as a hotel; it currently serves as an office building.
This collection consists of: correspondence, minutes,
bylaws, deeds, financial reports and records, business contracts, building reports, and newspaper clippings. Materials date
from 1921 to 1947. The records document the initial planning, construction, and management of the George Mason Hotel.
