This is 99 Reyson Street, the building that Whitman once lived in. It is the same foundation, just that the building has been renovated throughout the years.
 The tour was a great experience for me, I learned alot about the Park and it’s history and it was great to go see the actual building Whitman once resided at because it is the only building that is still in standing today.
