Commanders from both sides used the Richardson House, located nearby at 320 Walnut St, as headquarters. When U.S. Grant arrived he first used the house but moved to the Lattner house at the corner of First and Walnut streets. Grant prepared his campaign to relieve the city from there. William T. Sherman used the house after Grant departed.
Where that building stands is where about the Headquarters Row Stood. It is said a young solider haunts this area, he was supposedly executed and now un-rests in the area haunting it.
On a cute side night here is a statue of the giant great Dane that suppose to give you good luck it you give it a high five, as you can see my dad's following along.
