The Surratt Boardinghouse

September 12, 2016 by Jennifer

Mary Surratt, widow and Confederate sympathizer, ran the Washington, DC boardinghouse where John Wilkes Booth and his fellow conspirators plotted to bring down President Abraham Lincoln. On the left is a photo of the boardinghouse taken between 1861 and 1865 (source: Library of Congress). On the right, the building as it appears in GoogleMaps today, in an image captured on June 2014.
