Lincoln's Memorials
That vast and imposing temple to the savior of the union of the United States is the third memorial to President Lincoln in Washington. The first still stands downtown near DC's municipal buildings, but the second is a mile east of the Capitol building, where few tourists venture.
Yet another Lincoln, a bust by the sculptor of Mount Rushmore, Gutzon Borglum, resides in the Crypt of the United States Capitol building. On the floor of the crypt is a star that marks the exact center of Washington where it divides into four quadrants.
The Center of the CityThis marker is at the center of the four quadrants of Washington. From thehistorymakersfellows2011.blogspot.com.
