House and Window on the Wall, Damascus

Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "This is pointed out as the window on the wall from which Paul was left down in a basket, when he escaped while the governor under Aretas, the king, was guarding the city to capture him, It is absolutely certain that this is not that window; for this house is built on the modern Turkish wall. The picture is introduced here because it doubtless gives a good impression of the manner of the apostles escape from ancient Damascus."
