Booth's visit to the Surratt Boarding House after the assassination

[BettyO]

Quote:I read that the kitchen and dining room occupied the ground floor space.

That is correct, Maddie. The area under the stairs was Mrs. Surratt's kitchen and dining room -

Up the front steps was the front door with the parlor on the left front from the hallway. A back parlor was actually used as Mrs. Surratt's bedroom which she shared with another lady border.

The upstairs bedrooms were for John Surratt who shared a bedroom with Weichmann, and the Holoran family. On the third floor was Anna's room shared with another young lady boarder and a spare room rented out to gentlemen (Lew Powell's bedroom) in the back.
