According to George Washington's diary, in 1774 he and George Mason "Went up to Alexandria to a meeting of the County" at which the Fairfax Resolves were revised and adopted at "the Court House."

Can anyone tell me the location of the courthouse of Fairfax County in 1774?

In its entry for an early 19th-century Fairfax courthouse at a different location, The Virginia Historic Landmarks Register suggests Tysons Corner -- which seems a bit afield for "Alexandria."
