Laurie sent these two images with the following information:

"Some of you may know that the U.S. Army has begun restoring the third-floor of the only remaining portion of the old Penitentiary on the grounds of what is now Ft. Lesley J. McNair. The area served as the courtroom for the military trial of the conspirators.

The company that is reproducing the windows just sent the following period sketches that they are using to accurately produce them. The company also visited other sites with similar window guards of the 1860s.

Hopefully, the restored courtroom will be open to the public on a very limited basis by the spring of 2013."

Thank you, Laurie!
