Lincoln Memorial Construction. The Lincoln Memorial construction took place between 1914 and 1922. Work crews had completed most of the memorial architectural elements by April 1917 when the United States entered into the First World War, but work slowed as a result. Steady progress nonetheless was maintained on the interior decorations, granite terrace, approach plaza, and grounds landscaping.
The memorial is to honor Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States. It also is a monument to freedom since Abraham Lincoln was President during the Civil War and slavery was abolished. Henry Bacon designed the memorial which looks like the Parthenon in Greece. Construction began on February 12, 1914. The building is made of Colorado Yule marble and Indiana limestone.
