Nope. Good thinking, Anita, but it was not either of those cities.
Hint #1: Mary Lincoln visited this city when her husband was President. However, she stayed in a different hotel from the one pictured.
Hint #1.50: Lincoln passed through the city when changing trains on a couple of occasions; the visit I refer to was for 8 days when Lincoln stayed in the city and vicinity.
Hint #1.75: The hotel where Lincoln stayed has a number of "firsts."
