- Das Franklin and Armfield Office ist ein historisches Gebäude in Alexandria im Bundesstaat Virginia in den Vereinigten Staaten. 1828 gründeten die Sklavenhändler Isaac Franklin und John Armfield darin ein Geschäft, welches als eines der größten und erfolgreichsten Sklavenhandelsunternehmen der damaligen Zeit galt. Während der geschäftlich erfolgreichsten Zeiten in den 1830er-Jahren wurden jährlich zwischen 1.000 und 1.200 Sklaven verkauft und von Alexandria (Virginia) unter anderem nach New Orleans transportiert. 1836 wurde das Gebäude an einen anderen Sklavenhändler verkauft. Von 1858 bis zur Besetzung Alexandrias durch Unionstruppen im Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg 1861 saß hier die Sklavenhandelsfirma Price, Birch & Co. Danach diente das Gebäude als Gefängnis für gefangene Soldaten der Konföderierten Staaten und von 1878 bis 1885 als Krankenhaus. Im Juni 1978 wurde das Franklin and Armfield Office als Gebäude in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen und erhielt den Status eines National Historic Landmark zuerkannt, womit es eine von 121 Stätten dieser Art in Virginia ist.

- The Franklin and Armfield Office, which houses the Freedom House Museum, is a historic commercial building in Alexandria, Virginia (until 1846, the District of Columbia). Built c. 1810–20, it was first used as a private residence before being converted to the offices of the largest slave trading firm in the United States, started in 1828 by Isaac Franklin and John Armfield. "As many as [a] million people are thought to have passed through between 1828 and 1861, on their way to bondage in Mississippi and Louisiana". Another source, using ship manifests (lists of slaves) in the National Archives, gives the number as "at least 5,000". The former Franklin & Armfield Office building is located just west of Alexandria's Old Town, on the north side of Duke Street between South West and South Payne streets. It is a three-story brick building, topped by a mansard roof and resting on a brick foundation. Its front facade is laid in Flemish bond, while the sides and rear are laid in common bond. It has Federal-period styling, with windows and the entrance door set in segmented, arch openings, with gabled dormers at the roof level. The building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978, and has also been designated a Virginia Historic Landmark. The building is owned by the Northern Virginia Urban League; it is operated as a museum, with exhibits about the slave trading firm and the life of a slave. (en)
