The House on Second Street

A narrow house with no hallways, where rooms opened into one another and many doors were kept locked. Step through the morning of Thursday 4 August 1892 and watch who was where. Click any room to see what happened there.

Floor plans are simplified schematics drawn for this site from descriptions of the house, not measured drawings. Times are approximate and come from trial testimony and later reconstructions. A dashed token with a question mark means the position is only someone’s account and was disputed; faded tokens mark the victims.
