address of Fords

[RJNorton]

Go here.

Scroll down to p. 41 and it says, "The old Ford's theatre building in which President Lincoln was assassinated had been closed after the tragedy. Congress had authorized its use for the purpose of the Museum and the Pension Records. The building had been altered and repaired and was nearly ready for occupancy and preparations were made to occupy it. Its old number was 454 Tenth Street, N.W., afterwards No. 511."

The spelling of a few of the words on my screen did not look right, and I corrected them to what I think they should have been.

Can 454 Tenth Street be right? Which way would the numbers be going - Ferguson said the Greenback was 452 Tenth Street.
