RE: Presidential box: was it reassembled or reconstructed?
Juan, Lincoln assassination expert, Dave Taylor, wrote the following paragraph:

"In truth though, that is not the box where Lincoln was shot. That specific box was destroyed long ago. Ford’s Theatre, as beautiful as it is, is a complete reconstruction except for its exterior walls. It was recreated to appear as it did in 1865 by a group of experts and historians in the 1960’s. While they thoroughly documented their work in this book, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Here are some pictures of the inside of Ford’s when it was being rebuilt in the ’60’s:"

I am quoting from Dave's web page here:

Juan, for details on the entire restoration, I would refer you to Restoration of Ford's Theatre which is a .pdf file which can be downloaded here:
