Last public speech Abraham Lincoln

[loetar44]

We all know that President Lincoln delivered his final speech on April 11, 1865. I have three questions.

(1) Some accounts say that he spoke "from the hallway window between the two bedrooms" (White House). Other accounts say: “from the second-floor balcony”. I suppose he spoke from the north side of the WH (facing Lafayette Square). Can someone tell me from what window exactly?

(2) A large crowd was outside. What is large? Thousands? I read that “an even larger crowd was assembled on the White House lawn than the night before”, but that remains vague. appr. How many people were assembled outside?

(3) Noah Brooks held a candle to provide reading light. So it was dark. What time did Lincoln held his speech?

Here is a picture I grabbed from a National Geographc Channel re-enactment:
