"A top shelf experience. Miguel was the first one on site to review my job, gave me a quote the next day, and a rendering that matched exactly what I wanted. The work crew that showed up knocked it out the park. The mason took his time, and made sure the job was going to be something that I wanted to enjoy for years to come. I'd use Fortress for any job. This is the way you want to experience working with construction pro's. Thanks Miguel and Crew!"

A Journey Through Lorton's Past

Lorton’s story is woven with threads of resilience and reform. Originally the site of the Lorton Reformatory, established in 1910, this area was envisioned as a progressive correctional institution emphasizing rehabilitation through labor and education​ (Greater Greater Washington)​​ (NPS Homepage)​. The prison was notably involved in the women's suffrage movement, holding activists who were pivotal in securing voting rights for women after enduring harsh conditions and advocating for reform​ (Wikipedia)​​ (Greater Greater Washington)​.

Throughout the 20th century, Lorton evolved significantly. The prison’s farm and industries, including a notorious brick-making operation by inmates, shaped much of the local economy and infrastructure​ (Greater Greater Washington)​. The closure of the prison in 2001 paved the way for new community developments, including the transformation of the old reformatory grounds into the Workhouse Arts Center, preserving historical structures while fostering a cultural hub​ (NPS Homepage)​.
