| Ford's Theatre on 10th Street NW. Built in 1833 originally as a church, it was rebuilt into a theatre after a fire, opening in 1863. It is best known for as the site of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln: on the night of 14 April 1865, John Wilkes Booth entered Lincoln's theater box, slipped a single-shot derringer from his pocket and fired at Lincoln's head. Lincoln died the next morning. |
