Assassination Trivia

[Laurie Verge]

Joan checked her one City Directory from the 1860s (I thought she had more for that decade, but no). It is 1862, which is unfortunately the crucial year of fires, and the building is not listed as either a church or a theater. She then checked for Taltavul's and the Greenback, and neither was listed.

I am now contacting Frank Hebblethwaite, who was NPS staff there in the 1970s and 80s, and also a current Ranger at Ford's who really cares about the history.

PS: The Metropolitan Police headquarters was right up the street, and Joan found its number to be 488 Tenth Street -- a large span in numbers between the 450s and the 480s, IMO.
