Mill Street

Mill Street has been Occoquan's commercial center since the early 1800s. The Alton Hotel, Taverns, a bank, a pharmacy, grocery and hardware stores, and other businesses served local residents and travelers on the main east coast north south highway. A 1916 fire destroyed many of these buildings. A number of structures in this area postdate the fire.
