Pennsylvania Avenue: A map accompanying an article in Tuesday’s Section A about historic landmarks along Washington’s Pennsylvania Avenue showed wrong locations for an FBI building and the Willard Hotel. The FBI headquarters was shown in its present location on 9th Street, but at the time the bureau was spying on Martin Luther King it was at the Department of Justice, across the street. The Willard Hotel, where President Lincoln stayed before his first inauguration and where state delegates met in an attempt to prevent civil war, was shown at 10th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. It is at 14th Street and Pennsylvania. Also, a photo caption with that article gave an incorrect date of President Eisenhower’s inaugural parade. It was Jan. 20, 1953, not Jan. 21.
