President Warren G. Harding speaking at the dedication, 1922. The Lincoln Memorial is an American national monument built to honor the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. It is located on the western end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., across from the Washington Monument.
This memorial was begun in 1912 by the hand of architect Henry Bacon who made the design. The building itself is much like the Parthenon. It is designed as a Greek Doric temple; many people thought this memorial did not go with Lincolnâs character, as he was a very humble man. They had proposed another design, a simple log cabin to honor him, but it was not enough so they kept on with the original design.
