Summary[edit]

Description Slave pen of Price, Birch, & Co., Alexandria, Va., August 1863. Photographed by William R. Pywell. 165-SB-2. National Archives Identifier: 533276. Note: Price, Birch & Co. ceased business in 1861. Arriving at the Duke street office of the company on May 14, 1861, the Union Army discovered that "... The firm had fled, and taken with them all but one of the humans that they sold as slaves-- an old man, chained to the middle of the floor by the leg." Union forces then took possession of the building until February 2, 1866, using it as a military prison (Franklin and Armfield Office).
