Charles Crain began production on the first colonial style homes on this parcel in 1941. The iron anchor (attached to the exterior chimney) is a hallmark of the original Crain homes. Wilton Woods is a short drive to Huntington Metro Station, Lee District Park Amphitheater and Recreation Center, as well as Old Town Alexandria.
