I stood in the room where President Lincoln died.
Did you know that he died in a random person's home? They had to get him somewhere safe quickly after the shooting, and someone let him use their boarding house. There wasn't enough time to get him to the White House because the doctors were afraid there would be riots in the streets.
Also, did you know that since Lincoln was so tall, they had to lay him in the bed at an angle?
My work at 400 6th St., SW, WDC 20024? I can't ever remember the zip codes! The building definitely does not look as nice as some of the others, but it gets the job done.
Side note: If you set off the metal detector in the court house, they just let you through if you have a government badge. If you set off the metal detector in CFSA bldg, they search you like no other. Weird!
