The City engaged Glavé & Holmes Architecture (G&H) in 2022 to perform a Historic Structure Report (HSR) to summarize the history and evolution of the Murray-Dick-Fawcett House and document its form, materials, and condition. This would precede the creation of a Comprehensive Plan to develop the property into a destination for public visitation and heritage tourism. The HSR was funded by the Historic Alexandria Foundation.

The Murray-Dick-Fawcett House at 517 Prince Street is one of the earliest homes in the city. The small city lot, which contains a 1770s timber-frame and brick dwelling and a small garden, was one of the few buildings in existence in the area during the American Revolution. The building has been recognized as a unique architectural example of a middle-class home that had all household functions under one roof with minimal changes through the decades. The property was acquired by the City of Alexandria in 2017 and in 2023, the Historic Structures Report process began. The Report was completed in 2024.
