RE: Petersen House on twitter
All the info I have points to Safford living in the second-floor front room, probably on the right side if you're looking at it from the street.
Kunhardt in Twenty Days (pg. 46) says Safford roomed with some naturalists in the front room on the second-floor.
According to a letter William C. Davis of Mechanicsburg, Pa., wrote to James O. Hall, Safford roomed with Thomas Proctor. Proctor was an amateur naturalist who collected frogs.
Davis' connection was that his cleaning lady was a Safford descendant.
I wonder if Safford and Proctor had additional roommates.
Safford was in charge of the property returns division in the War Department.
