Exposing the Alexandria Slave Pen: Historical Photographs, Engravings, and Illustrations of 1315 Duke Street was presented by City of Alexandria Archaeologist Dr. Ben Skolnik on Monday, February 13, 2023. Now the Freedom House Museum, 1315 Duke Street was once the location where several 19th-century dealers trafficked enslaved men, women, and children to the Deep South. Dr. Skolnik looks at period photographs and illustrations of the building and shares what they tell us about the building and the businesses which operated from 1315 Duke Street.
