Presidential box: was it reassembled or reconstructed?
"Soon after leasing the building, the government began the process of converting the interior of the theater into office space. This involved essentially gutting the building, and the presidential box was dismantled sometime in August 1865, about four months after the assassination."

The article does not clarify if the disassembled materials were saved and reused a hundred years later to reconstruct the box. I was wondering which is the case--reassembly or reconstruction. Sound like post-1865 political terms.
