This small and simple historic row house was a boarding house at the time of the Civil War. After Lincoln was shot, he was taken to a room on the first floor of this house while the doctors attended to his health. Secretary of War Edwin Stanton interviewed witnesses here that night. Robert Todd Lincoln arrived from the White House and stayed by his father’s side all night. It was a sad procession early the next morning when they finally brought the President’s lifeless body down the steps for his carriage journey back to the White House.
