Cooper Mill
at 10 Duke Street

Gather 'Round

Named after the former mill on the site, the now-completed restoration of the building preserves its historic charm, which once served as a Civil War commissary for the Union Army. The two-story, 6,400 sq. ft. warehouse features a casual pizza tavern & bar on the first floor and a dedicated private event space on the second floor with capacity for up to 120 people.

This historical adaptive reuse project was the vision of local builder Murray Bonitt of Bonitt Builders, who oversaw the project, and Larry Nicholson, a local resident and real estate executive. Together they partnered with Alexandria restaurateur, Noe Landini, to combine their expertise in restoration and hospitality to breathe new life into the space. Opened only a year, the project has received awards from the Historic Alexandria Foundation, as well as recognition from the prestigious National Trust for Historic Preservation and has been highlighted in numerous local and national publications.
