The Lincoln Memorial's south wall is the focus here, shown through a set of architectural section and elevation drawings that reveal how the building was put together. Such drawings were the working documents of the project, translating the design into dimensions that masons and engineers could follow. The memorial, dedicated in 1922 and designed by Henry Bacon in the Greek Doric style, rests on a marble base with a colonnade of 36 columns, each representing a state in the Union at the time of Lincoln's death. Details like these show the care that went into the building's proportions and stonework.
