Name Watson, Laura Occupation landowner; real estate developer Biographical Text Wife of Charles Watson. After her husband died in 1874, Laura Watson and her sons developed the Sunnyside neighborhood near what is now West Glebe Road and Mount Vernon Avenue. Many small black neighborhoods were formed in Alexandria after the Civil War, possibly encouraged by the new legal protections offered during Reconstruction. After the end of Reconstruction in Virginia in 1870, Sunnyside would have provided an opportunity for home ownership to African Americans rebuffed by banks and shut out of white residential areas by Jim Crow laws. In 1992, Sunnyside residents decided to use funds from a terminated home ownership assistance program to build the Watson Reading Room. The site selected for the reading room, next to what is now the Alexandria Black History Museum, was rich in African-American history as well.
