Walls of Lincoln murder plot house to be razed in Washington
An old brick house on H street linked to the Lincoln assassination plot will be torn down for modern development. The three story boarding house once housed Mrs Mary E Surratt and associates in the 1860s era. It stood as a decaying reminder of the murder surrounds before becoming a store remodeller site. The building briefly hosted relatives of Mrs Surratt and figures like George A Atterott and Louis Payne in investigations. A proposed Lincoln relics museum never materialized.
