Cynthia Charlotte Moon, known as Lottie, was a young girl when her family moved into the residency at 220 East High Street.

Among other colorful incidents, Lottie once rode in President Abraham Lincoln's personal carriage disguised as "Lady Hull", a rheumatic English invalid.

She pretended to be asleep while President Lincoln and Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stanton, discussed upcoming strategies.
