Hall was so minute in his research, however, that he told us years ago about the H Street home getting revenue from rentals to Patent Office employees, a music teacher, and others that I cannot remember, over the ten years that the Surratts owned it before moving to the city to utilize it themselves.

Just to round everything out, besides James S. Drake, the Treadway family was also living at the Surratt boardinghouse in Washington according to the 1863 Washington city directory. The father Alfred was a claims agent/lawyer and the son, William H. Treadway was a clerk in the patent office. Not included in the directory listing is Alfred's wife and daughters.
