The master bedroom at Surratt House has a Currier and Ives engraving of Pius IX hanging on the wall also -- longest serving Pope in history, I believe. It was through him that the U.S. was finally able to retrieve John Surratt and bring him back to stand trial. If I remember correctly, he was willing to comply because the U.S. promised him naval support in fleeing Italy if the tides of war against the Holy See turned against him.
