He left the hotel later that morning (without paying the bill) and boarded the stage for Rockville, MD trying to make his escape.

I am looking for information on this hotel and possibly a photo or illustration. My initial internet searches have come up with a great big zilch. Anyone have anything to share? Help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Weren't they separate establishments? They're listed as such in the 1862 city directory on page 222:

Thanks Susan I will check this link out.

I was going by the very little information I had which was an entry in Steers' The Lincoln Assassination Encyclopedia. The entry is Kimmel House and the first sentence in the entry is "Also known as the Pennsylvania House."
