- Abstract:
- A black and white stereograph of Ford's Theatre in Washington D.C. Image caption on page 20 of the book US National Library of Medicine: "Ford's Theatre, shown here ca. 1870s, was modified after President Lincoln's assassination to accommodate the Army Medical Library and Museum, which moved there in the fall of 1866. In preparation, the seating and balcony were removed and floors were installed to make a second and third level. The Record and Pension Division occupied the main level, the library occupied the second floor, and the Army Medical Museum occupied the third floor. Billings, his fellow officers, and the Medical Department's laboratory occupied space in an adjacent building. A small structure behind the theatre served as a museum workshop."
