As a Washingtonian, I like to walk visiting friends thru the little seen alley view (originally known as Baptist Alley) of the rear of Ford's Theater, to show them the horse-back escape route of John Wilkes Booth. The alley is freely assessable thru F street between 9th & 10th Streets NW. I suggest anyone visiting Washington, DC & Ford's Theater to do a little unguided urban exploring to complete the story of the Assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.Not lined up exactly but not too bad.
Wow! So fascinating to hear your family history!
Had no idea there used to be a gas station there. Now instead of gas customers get rock´n roll and eats at the Hard Rock Cafe.

It's because the trees, the people, and the cars that though you off target.
I saw that too. Wonder what its about.Legs legs... On the front of the next building
It's too bad Mrs. Lincoln didn't notice that. She was so insanely jealous, she would have turned the buggy around and headed home.Legs legs... On the front of the next building
Have parked near here many times and have wondered if any of the many tourists have any idea that Booth rode down this street on his way to the Navy Yard Bridge.As a Washingtonian, I like to walk visiting friends thru the little seen alley view (originally known as Baptist Alley) of the rear of Ford's Theater, to show them the horse-back escape route of John Wilkes Booth.
