Signzea - i::(~:tion Amended Items in Nomination: Section No. 7 (Description) A description of the house prior to restoration was made for the National Register nomination when the property was listed in 1973. This pre-restoration description forms the basis for the existing nomination. After the death of the last owner, restoration work was undertaken so that the house could be opened as a museum reflecting the period of Mary Surratt ( 1852-1866). The 1973 restoration was based primarily upon the published woodcut view made for Harper's Weekly in March 1867 because the earliest photograph dates from 1901, by which time a number of changes had been made that did not reflect the appearance when Surratt owned the house. Alterations made after the period of the Surratt occupancy included, a large wrap-around porch with Queen Anne style filigree and a two-story addition for stacked bathrooms on the rear. (A large porch probably dated from the late nineteenth century, while the bathrooms were reportedly added in the 1930s.) The original kitchen ell had burned and was replaced with a smaller wing. The original first story windows had been replaced, and the post office furnishing in the front corner room removed. Restoration and reconstruction work in 1973 after the property was listed included the following. The nomination should reflect these changes: • The removal of the late nineteenth century porch and the reconstruction of the shed roof porch on the north side of the house, and the front portico over the main entrance. A small porch was added on the rear where the bathroom stack had been removed.

Reconstruction of this room included the kitchen, the family dining room (as opposed to the public dining room in the main section of the house), and the half-story space above those rooms. • The replacement of the window sash. The original 6/6 sash appear to have survived on the second floor, but had been already replaced by windows with 2/2 lights on the first floor. • The addition of new wood window blinds, hung with screws rather than the traditional iron shutter hardware mentioned in the 1972 description. • Rebuilding and/or reconstruction of fireplaces. • The removal of all the interior plaster walls and ceilings and replacement with new plaster walls and sheetrock (?) ceilings with recessed lighting. • The northwest corner room historically contained a wood counter and mail boxes as it functioned as a post office in the Surratt period. This woodwork was no longer extant in 1971 and was reconstructed. • Exterior restoration also included the deteriorated elements, such as the box cornice that was rebuilt without cornice returns in the gable ends, and new clapboards in selective locations. The Maryland State Historic Preservation Office was notified of this amendment.
