CAN ART BRING SOCIAL CHANGE?

More Old Town Alexandria House Portraits in my Series

This is a lovely home in Duke Street, owned by two lovely people, June and Bob Nemchin (see below).  They are both retired now. June was in the interior design business -- you can tell as soon as you enter the house-- and Bob is a chemistry researcher and an impressive freelance photographer.  The Nemchins are very fond of art and their home also serves as a gallery of original art and photography. 


I chose their home as part of my house portrait series of Old Town Alexandria as I love the unique rose pink hues (that was June's creation of course) and the three flags in a row caught my eye.  The Nemchins were granted a plaque by the Historic Alexandria Foundation which is proudly on display.  They have kept their home very much to the original, complimenting it with antique furniture and a great patio garden out back where spring colors are now bursting forth!
