The Lincoln Memorial's east facade is the focus here, drawn alongside a site map that shows how the building sits within its grounds on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Documentation sheets like this one were prepared to record a building's exact form and placement, which made them useful for maintenance, repair, and later study. The memorial, dedicated in 1922 and designed by Henry Bacon, is a Doric temple housing a seated statue of Abraham Lincoln, so the elevation shows the columns and proportions that give the structure its formal character. Comparing the drawing with the site plan reveals how the monument was oriented to align with the long axis of the Mall.
