Does anyone know...?

Laurie, I had the same thought about that Leslie engraving. Too bad it did not show more area to the right and left of what looks like simply the gated area between the horse stall and the buggy shelter. I also recall reading somewhere that Booth owned two horses at one time so this stall area may have been large enough for two. Even a small two person single horse buggy with the shaft would likely be at least 12 ft. in length. When one thinks about the radius needed to back the buggy into the shelter after unhitching the horse in the alley and the space needed for the horse(s), the width of the area needed was probably at least 30 feet. Perhaps I am over-thinking this space.
