Ben Redmond's law office is located on or near the Square in Jefferson. The sign for it, a "small faded sign nailed to the brick" that reads "B.J. Redmond. Atty at Law" is at street level, but the office itself, like many others around the Square, is upstairs, reached by climbing an exterior set of "wooden steps" (247-48).
