Petersen House on twitter

[RJNorton]

Many thanks to Jim Garrett for sending another photo! Here is the second floor room of the Petersen House where Henry Safford is believed to have lived. I believe I once read that Safford was not his in room when he heard the commotion from across the street; rather he was sitting in the front parlor on the first floor. That would be the same room that Mary Lincoln spent much of the night. This is my vague memory of Safford's location before he went out the door and yelled to bring the president here (i.e. the Petersen House) - please correct me if I said something that is incorrect.
