Edsall Garden Apartments

The Edsall Garden Apartments is an apartment complex in Alexandria.

Designed by architect Edmund W. Dreyfuss, the complex was originally built starting in 1963 as the Edsall Gardens apartments by Wolman Construction for the Shirley-Edsall Joint Venture.[1] Owner Jerry Wolman sold the complex as part of a much larger transaction worth $20 million to New York investors Henry D. Epstein and William A. Riesenfeld the following year, with the deal closing in December, 1964.[2][3][4]

On December 5, 1996, the Fairfax County Police Department opened a satellite police station of the Franconia District Station at 6413 Edsall Road in unit #101.[5]

On September 27, 1995, 32-year-old Anthony J.

On December 11, 2006, 22-year-old Laquetta S. Sanders was stabbed to death by her aunt, 56-year-old Martha Majors, in her apartment in the complex.[8]
