Trial Room at McNair

[John E.]

Hello all,

I'd just like to add that there are additional modifications that are planned on being made. Specifically, they plan to add green baize cloths to the tables. They are going to replace the chairs on the prisoners dock with 2 benches. If funds or donations permit, they will be adding additional tables (defense lawyers tables, evidence table, Gen. Hartranft's table) well as benches that line the wall.

We found evidence to support a 3-tiered bleacher like setting for spectators that lined the south wall. Unfortunately, putting them in now would not be practical. The cocoa matting or something similar would be a nice touch. As handsome as the floors may look - and the nice stained pillars for that matter, they just aren't accurate. The pillars were white as well.
