Mary E. Surratt Boarding House, Civil War era boarding house in Chinatown, Washington D.C., United States.

The three-story brick building at 604 H Street features Federal and Greek Revival architectural elements with metal accents and stands 14 meters tall.

Mary Surratt operated this boarding house from 1864 to 1865, where conspirators met to plan President Abraham Lincoln's assassination with John Wilkes Booth.

The structure transformation from a residential boarding house to a Chinese-Japanese restaurant reflects the evolution of Washington D.C.'s Chinatown neighborhood.

The building currently houses the Wok N Roll Restaurant, accessible via the Chinatown/Gallery Place Metro Station one block to the east.
