Abraham Lincoln Monument

<b>Chicago Landmark</b><br><br> One of the oldest and most important public sculptures in Chicago, this monument to America’s sixteenth president influenced a generation of sculptors due to its innovative combination of a natural-looking Lincoln-&#8211;depicted deep in thought as he is about to begin a speech-&#8211;with a Classical style architectural setting. It is the work of two nationally-important American designers and is widely considered to be the most significant nineteenth-century sculpture of Lincoln.<br><br> Designated on December 12, 2001<br> Richard M.
