Ballston

By 1900 a well-defined village called Central Ballston had developed in the area bounded by the present Wilson Boulevard, Taylor Street, Washington Boulevard, and Pollard Street. More diffuse settlement extended westward to Lubber Run and southward along Glebe Road to Henderson Road. The track of the Washington, Arlington, and Falls Church Electric Railroad ran along what is now Fairfax Drive; the Ballston Station was at Ballston Avenue, now Stuart Street. Here Clements Avenue. now Stafford Street, divided to pass on either side of an old Ball family graveyard.

Marker is at the intersection of North Fairfax Drive and North Stafford Street, on the right when traveling west on North Fairfax Drive.
