The diagrams of the theater were made by John T. Ford as he sat in the Old Capitol prison. The diagram of the box usually seen was from a newspaper. While close, neither are exact. The layout of box 7 is at such an angle the view to the stage is somewhat compromised unless the patron is sitting up near the front of the box. Box 8 is a better box. In any event, the combined box, with the four occupants and three pieces of heavy furniture was very crowded. Whether there were a few mote square feet in the original box, we don't know. All I know, if you had claustrophobia, the Presidential box was no place to be.
