Fascinating information in the link.. great piece of history!
ReplyDeletea piece of american history, for sure!
ReplyDeleteOh this is wonderful to view. Someday I hope to visit this place, and I understand after it sat vacant they've redone the building and you can tour it? I must check out your other posts.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the world's most famous alley?
ReplyDeleteI loved going back and reading about Ford's Theatre after the fact....I had never really wondered if it was still a theatre, or became a museum, or if it even still existed. Loved that old post, and this one with the really nice photo!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Booth ran down this alley in his attempt to escape!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is cool! You have actually taken us behind the scenes. I have never seen such a clean and well kept alley. Perhaps the city keeps it that way because it is some kind of landmark?
ReplyDeleteBooth could hopped aboard the Metro from here. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery neat to see!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly looks quiet now. Have you read James Swanson's book Manhunt?
ReplyDeleteSuch an historic spot.
ReplyDeleteGlad they have refurbished the theater I never really knew what happened to it.
ReplyDeleteNice alley shot.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm reading a book about Booth! It's a biography called Fortune's Fool.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about the theater and this is a great shot of the alley!
ReplyDeleteCan just see Mr Wilkes Booth flying down here Tanya :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a place of history!
