Pelz had drawn a diagram of the Blaine mansion, also known as the Old Club House and the Seward mansion, "for the historical record," before the house was demolished in 1895. Pelz incorrectly identified Seward's bedroom as being in the southeast corner of the house. You can see the bloodspot in the southwest bedroom that was supposedly still there in 1895.

Linda, Robinson or Frederick said that the stairway was about a foot away from William's door at the top of the stairs. Who do you think was correct? In the Pelz image, William Seward's room is more than a foot away.
