Hubert N. "Dutch" Hoffman was a Alexandria Va real estate investor. The Hoffman building on Eisenhower Ave is named for him. He bought 71 acres of swampy land in 1958 for 200000 dollars. It took years but he made millions from his deal. He died in 2002 and was placed in his tomb, by his sister just off the Telegraph Road exit.

The tomb made of thick polished marble was impressive, it had heating and a AC system , Inside a bronze door was where he laid in his sarcophagus . His picture hanged from the wall and the interior of the tomb was spotless. The tomb would last a thousand years but ...

Did Hoffmans lawyers miss the dot of a i or not cross a t in his legal papers establishing his tomb? Because its now Gone! Disappeared ! The hotel next door is closed, other high rise buildings have been torn down. What Gives? Who Did It?

Street rumor has it that a "Contractor Did It"

It was always neat seeing the tomb stick out like a sore-thumb at the back of the parking lot behind the Holiday Inn. I'm sure he envisioned that corner as always being some type of hotel-type property because it's a great location for it. But times change, and I'd imagine the man was so financially-wise that he stipulated that refusing to move the tomb for a future deal in the tens of millions would be idiotic.

Was he related to you?

It was sad to see the Hoffman Family Mausoleum go, but the North Carolina contractor who built this $500,000 great monument, dismantled it and relocated it to Mt. Comfort Cemetary in Alexandria, VA. The "contractor" did not do it, is was done by Mr. Jay Hoffman, the Grandson, to make room for a bigger Hotel and Conference Center to service NSF and TSA that will be relocating to the area. The Legendary Dutch Hoffman, his Sister Mildred and His wife Peggy are now all together once again at Mt. Comfort Cemetary on S. Kings Hwy. Thank you HOFFMANS for making this the Land of Opportunity. - Pastor Gales

Pray you don't ever have to do any business with the Hoffmans.

According to the article, it looks like a substantial deal was done on a handshake.

I wonder if all deals are done that way.

At Mt Comfort.. But it was not there in May 15. It was moved after the summer was over. Not hard to find , in the main gate take a right Voilà! There it is. The contractors did a great job, taking it apart like a puzzle and putting it back together. RIP Hubert "Dutch" Hoffman and family. After what is hoped to be your final move.
