History Lives

I saw The Conspirator over the weekend, a reasonably good courtroom drama about the trial of Mary Surratt, who was convicted and hanged for her role in the plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln.

The plot, which included John Wilkes Booth, Lewis Powell, David Herold, Samuel Mudd, John Surratt, and George Atzerodt, was hatched in Mary Surratt's boarding house at 541 H Street in Washington, D.C..

The house still stands, though it is now a Chinese restaurant. I find it odd that it has not been designated as a historical landmark.
