I know not many images of Anna Surratt exist and I was particularly interested in the image of Anna at 7:58 in the video. I don't believe I'd seen that one. Wonder is there is a potential date for that image. Also I wish I could see more photos of the interior of the house at the time it was acquired by the M-NCPPC. Such pre-restoration photos interest me.

We believe that Anna had this photo taken shortly after moving to DC in the late fall of 1864, which would make her just shy of 22 (born on New Year's Day in 1843).
