Inside and Upstairs in the Surratt Boarding House... (Kinda)

What a wonderful photo, Jim!!! It's an absolute Gem of "Our Jim!" Thanks so very much for sharing!!

Years ago, I knew Bert Shelton - a retired DC Cop. Bert was also quite a historian and managed to go upstairs into the boarding house via a friendship with the owner, Harold Wang. Bert for years owned two of those wonderful old white "egg" porcelain door knobs from the boarding house. About four years ago, they were sold on eBay for $1,000 apiece!
