The text description has been provided as an alternative to the visual map graphic provided.
A four-square block map of the historic area of Lincoln Home National Historic Site. The map is oriented with north at the top of the image. This is indicated by an arrow pointing upwards with the text “North” in the southeastern corner of the map. The boundary of the site is surrounded by four roads. At the North boundary of the park is Capitol Avenue, at the East boundary is Ninth street, at the South is Edwards Street, and at the West is Seventh Street. The area is divided into 4 square quadrants by two pedestrian roads, Eighth Street which runs North-South, and Jackson which runs East-West. Many buildings are labelled on the map, including the Lincoln Home Visitor Center and the Lincoln Home. The map is on a gray scale with red lines designating the ABAAS Non-compliant surfaces on the site. Light gray signifies a grassy area, a mid-gray signifies a historic building not open to the public, and black signifies a building that is open to the public. All text is in black unless otherwise specified.
The Northeast quadrant of the map is surrounded by roads and walking paths. On the northern boundary is Capitol Avenue which is a two-way street running east-west, on the eastern boundary is Ninth street which is a two-way street running north-south. On the southern boundary is Jackson Street, which runs east-west and is closed off to vehicular traffic. On the western boundary is Eighth street which is a one-way street that runs north-south and is closed off to vehicular traffic. The quadrant is split into 2 halves, east and west, by a pedestrian alley that connects Capitol and Jackson streets. Pedestrian pathways are on all four sides of the quadrant and run alongside all of the roads.
In the northwest corner of the eastern half of the quadrant, to the east of the alley, just south of Capitol Avenue, is an upside-down “L” shaped mid-gray building labeled “Morse House.” The rest of the eastern half of the quadrant has no buildings and is shaded light gray.
The western half of the quadrant is split into seven rectangular property lots, arranged in a column running north-south. All properties are light gray, most of them lacking buildings. Most of the properties are roughly the same width (north-south) and all are the same length (east-west). The sixth property is about twice as wide as the others and the seventh southernmost property is wider than the first five lots but less wide than the sixth.
Going in order from north to south: The first property is labelled “Remann Lot.” It has no buildings. The second property has a large, rectangular mid-gray building on its west side labeled “Conference Center.” The building has a white square icon with a figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the building is wheelchair accessible. The third property is labeled “Worthen Lot.” The fourth property is labeled “Niles Lot.” The fifth property is labelled “Bugg Lot.” This lot is not fully rectangular but has approximately one eighth of it missing in the southeast corner of it. The third through fifth properties do not have buildings. The sixth property is labelled “Carrigan Lot”. Although the Carrigan lot does not have a building, directly east of the Carrigan Lot is a small rectangular lot with a rectangular building mid-gray building, this building and lot are the whole length of the Carrigan Lot and touches the eastern edge of the Carrigan Lot and the southeast corner of the Bugg Lot.
The seventh property, located farthest south in this column, at the intersection of Eighth and Jackson streets, has a building on its western side that is shaded black and is labeled “Lincoln Home.” The building has a white square icon with a figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the building is wheelchair accessible. The building is semi-rectangular and has a light gray shaded grassy space as a backyard east of it. At the eastern edge of the backyard there are two unlabeled mid-gray outbuildings, one larger and “L” shaped the other much smaller and rectangular.
In the northeast quadrant, there are several walking paths connecting the buildings and properties to Eighth Street, Jackson Street, Capitol Avenue, and the alley. Three north-south walkways connect Capitol Street to Jackson Street. One runs along the western boundary of the quadrant, alongside the east side of Eighth street and along the western side of the column of properties. An alleyway also runs through the middle of the quadrant, between the western half of the quadrant with the seven properties and the empty green space on the eastern half that contains the Morse House. The Conference Center, Lincoln Home, and Morse House properties have walking paths within their boundaries. The Morse House property has a short path connecting the Morse House to the alley. The Conference Center property has a long pathway starting at the mid-northern edge of the Conference Center than runs east-west and connects to the alley.
The Lincoln Home property has pathways connecting the buildings to each other and to the east-west pathway running along the seventh property’s south side. Two short pathways run north-south from the east-west pathway into the property. The western one is a short path that connects to the southeast edge of the Lincoln Home. The one of the eastern side leads into the backyard area of the property. This path then splits in two directions. One branch runs east and connects to the two unlabeled outbuildings. The other goes west to connect towards the eastern side the Lincoln Home. The path splits into a “Y” shape, both which connect to a small north-south pathway which runs along the eastern edge of the Lincoln Home. The north edge of this path connects to the northern edge of the lot and the south edge of this path leads into the Lincoln Home at its southeastern corner.
In between Jackson Street, Capitol Avenue, Eighth Street, and Ninth Street, and the walkways that run alongside each of them are thin light gray areas separating the streets from and the walkways. The Northwest quadrant of the map is surrounded by roads and walking paths. On the north boundary is Capitol Avenue which is a two-way street running east-west, on the eastern boundary is Eighth street which runs north-south and is and is closed off to vehicular traffic. On the south boundary is Jackson Street which runs east–west and is and is closed off to vehicular traffic. On the west is Seventh Street which is a one-way street running north-south. The quadrant is split into 2 halves, east and west, by a pedestrian alley that connects Capitol and Jackson streets. Pedestrian pathways are on all four sides of the quadrant and run alongside all of the roads.
In the Southwest corner of the western half of the quadrant, to the west of the alley, is a black rectangular-like building, labeled “Lincoln Home Visitor Center” in white text. The building has a white square icon with a figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the building is wheelchair accessible. The area around the building is shaded light gray.
Immediately north of the Lincoln Home Visitor Center is a white rectangular area labelled “Bus Parking” and is also designated by a black square icon with white “P.” There are a couple of small light gray shaded areas in the parking lot. One sits in the middle of the western edge of the lot, along Seventh street, and is a four-sided shape with the western corners at right-angles and the eastern side of the shape forming a triangular point pointing northeast. Its position creates two openings for vehicles to enter the lot, one at the southwest corner of the lot and the other at the northwest corner of the lot. The light gray area is a small thin ovular shape in the middle of the eastern half of the lot.
To the north of the Bus Parking lot is a mid-gray rectangular building labeled in white text as “Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church” which occupies the northwestern corner of the quadrant.
The eastern half of the quadrant is split into six rectangular property lots, arranged in a column running north-south. All properties are light gray, several with mid-gray buildings inside the properties. Most of the properties are roughly the same width (north-south) and all are the same length (east-west).
Going from north to south: The first property is labelled “Walters Lot.” It has no buildings. This property is the largest property in the column, roughly twice the width of the other properties.
The second property has a rectangular mid-gray building on its eastern side which is labeled the “Beedle House.”
The third property has a mid-gray rectangular-like building on its eastern side which is labeled “Rosenwald House.” To the southwest of the Rosenwald House, close to the southern lot boundary, is a small sqaure unlabeled outbuilding in mid-gray.
The fourth property has several buildings. The largest is a black semi-rectangular building which is located in the center-eastern part of the property. The building has a white square icon with a figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the building is wheelchair accessible. The building is labelled “Dean House.” Immediately to the northwest of the building is a small mid-gray square building. In the southwest corner of the property is another small mid-gray rectangular building.
The fifth and sixth properties both do not have buildings. The fifth property is labelled “Brown Lot” and the sixth one is labeled “Burch Lot.”
In the northwest quadrant, there are several walking paths connecting the buildings and properties to Seventh street, Eighth street, Capitol Avenue, the alley, and the bus parking lot.
Three north-south walkways connect Capitol Street to Jackson Street. One runs along the western boundary of the quadrant, alongside the east side of Seventh street. An alleyway also runs through the middle of the quadrant, between the western half of the quadrant with the visitor center, bus parking lot, and church, and eastern half of the quadrant with the six properties. The last pathway runs along the eastern boundary of the quadrant, on the west side of Eighth street and on the east side of the column of six properties. There are also several pathways leading to and from buildings, connecting them to other walkways.
Grace Lutheran Church has a short walkway from its southwest corner that moves west, connecting to Seventh street. It intersects the walkway that runs south along Seventh street. The church also has a very short walkway on its center-northern side, which connects the church to the walkway that runs east-west along Capitol Avenue.
The Lincoln Home Visitor Center has a few pathways that lead to the doors of the visitor center. One on the west side of the Visitor Center, off of Seventh Street; two on the south side of the building that blend into a small plaza area touching the southeast of the Visitor Center that merges into the pathway that runs east-west alongside Jackson Street; and one on the northeast side of the building, that runs east and connects with the north-south alley.
The Beedle House, Rosenwald House, and Dean House properties also have walking paths within their boundaries. The Beedle House property has a walkway that runs west-to-east from the alley, across the lot and connects to the western end of the Beedle House. The pathway then branches, with one branch running south alongside the western side of the Beedle House and then connecting with a pathway in the Rosenwald House property. The other branch continues east, running alongside the northern edge of the Beedle House and then turns south alongside the eastern side of the building briefly before resuming east to connect to the north-south pathway along Eighth Street.
The Rosenwald property has a walkway running west-to-east that connects the alley to the western side of the Rosenwald House. This pathway has two branching pathways off of it, one which runs north and connects to the north-south pathway that goes to the Beedle House, and another which runs south alongside the western edge of the Rosenwald House. Another short east-west walkway connects the eastern end of the Rosenwald House to the north-south along Eighth Street.
The Dean property has a pathway that runs west-to-east, connecting the alley to the western edge of the Dean House. At the western end of the Dean House, the pathway branches north and south, with the northern branch connecting to the eastern end of the northern unlabeled mid-gray building in the lot and then the walkway turns and runs east alongside the northern edge of the Dean House. The other branch of the path moves south and then turns and runs east, alongside the southern edge of the property before it diverges again, one going north, up east side of the building, the other branch continuing east to connect to the north-south pathway along Eighth Street.
In between Jackson Street, Capitol Avenue, Seventh Street, and Eighth Street, and the walkways that run alongside each of them are thin light gray areas separating the streets from and the walkways. The Southeast quadrant of the map is surrounded by roads and walking paths. On the northern boundary is Jackson Street, which runs east–west and on the western boundary is Eighth street, which runs north-south. Both are closed off to vehicular traffic. On the eastern boundary is Ninth street, which runs north-south, and on the southern boundary is Edwards Street, which runs east-west. Both are two-way roads. The quadrant is split into 2 halves, east and west, by a pedestrian alley that connects Eighth and Edwards streets. Pedestrian pathways are on all four sides of the quadrant and run alongside all of the roads. The eastern half of the quadrant is shaded a light gray on the map with no buildings. The western half of the quadrant is split into six rectangular property lots, arranged in a column running north-south. All properties are light gray, several with mid-gray buildings inside the properties. Most of the properties are roughly the same width (north-south) and all are the same length (east-west). The southernmost property is the largest in width. Going from north to south: The first property has a rectangular black building around the northwest corner of the property which is labelled “Arnold House.” This building has a white square icon with a figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the building is wheelchair accessible. The building is accessible via a ramp on its southern side. In the eastern side of the property are two small, mid-gray unlabeled buildings. The one in the northeastern corner is larger than the one closer to the southeastern corner of the lot. The second property is labelled “Irwin Lot.” It has no buildings. The third property has one long, rectangular mid-gray building located in its western half, labelled “Cook House.” This building has a white square icon with a figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the building is wheelchair accessible. The fourth property is labelled “Roll Lot” and has one unlabeled, mid-gray building in its southeast corner. The fifth property is labelled “Jenkins Lot.” It has no buildings. The sixth property has a rectangular mid-gray building on its western side labelled “Robinson House.” This building has a white square icon with a figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the building is wheelchair accessible. In the southeast corner of the property is an unlabeled, medium-sized mid-gray building. The seventh property is split into two spaces by a north-south line. The western space is about three-fifths of the total property and has no buildings in it. The eastern space has a square mid-gray building in its northeast corner labelled “Allen Barn.” In the southeast quadrant, there are several walking paths connecting the buildings and properties to Eighth Street, Jackson Street, and the alley. Three north-south walkways connect Jackson Street to Edwards Street, one on the western boundary of the quadrant, alongside the east side of Eighth Street. The north-south pedestrian alley runs through the middle of the quadrant, between the western half of the quadrant with the six properties and the empty green space on the eastern half of the quadrant. The last one runs along the eastern boundary of the quadrant, on the west side of Ninth Street. The Arnold House property, Cook House property, and Robinson House properties all have walking paths within their boundaries. The Arnold House property has three short walkways. One north-south walkway that starts in the middle of the property’s northern boundary, another north-south walkway that runs up against the eastern edge of the Arnold House, and an east-west walkway that starts in the middle of the property’s eastern boundary and runs west in between the two, small unlabeled buildings on the property. All three pathways connect in the middle of the property, forming a skinny east-west rectangle area that touches the southeast corner of the Arnold House. The Cook House property has two east-west paths that connect the Cook House to the two north-south walkways that border the seven properties. One short east-west path connects the west side of the Cook House to the north-south walkway that runs along the east side of Eighth street. The other east-west starts from the center of the north side of the Cook House and moves east before turning south to run alongside the east side of the Cook House and then resumes east to connect to the north-south alley. The Robinson House property has a pathway that snakes east-west, connecting the two north-south walkways that border the seven properties. Starting from the north-south path that runs along Eighth street, the path runs east to reach the Robinson House then turns south and runs east again in order to go around the Robinson House on its southern side. The path then turns to go north, along the Robinson House’s eastern before finally turning east to connect the path to the north-south walkway in the middle of the quadrant. In doing so, it passes by the northern edge of the unlabeled building in the southeast corner of the property. In between Jackson Street, Edwards Street, Eighth Street, and Ninth street, and the walkways that run alongside each of them are thin light gray areas separating the streets from and the walkways. The Southwest quadrant of the map is surrounded by roads and walking paths. On the western boundary is Seventh street, which is a one-way street running north-south. On the northern boundary is Jackson Street, which runs east–west, and on the eastern boundary is Eighth street, which runs north-south. Both are closed off to vehicular traffic. On the southern boundary is Edwards Street, which is a two-way street running east-west. The quadrant is split into 2 halves, east and west, by a pedestrian alley that connects Jackson and Edwards streets. Pedestrian pathways are on all four sides of the quadrant and run alongside all of the roads. The western half of the quadrant is occupied by a white rectangular area labelled “Visitor Parking” lot, designated by a black square icon with white “P.” The parking lot is surrounded by light gray. It occupies the northernmost four-fifths of the western half of the quadrant. In the northwest corner of the parking lot is an accessibility ramp angled diagonally from the northwest corner towards the center of the lot. This ramp allows for pedestrian access between the Visitor Parking lot and the walkway that leads to the Lincoln Home Visitor Center. Next to the ramp is black square icon with a white figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the ramp is wheelchair accessible. Immediately east of the ramp is a small trapezoid area with a small black rectangle. This indicates a slightly raised brick area with a small kiosk. In the southwest corner of the parking lot is the vehicle entrance and exit. The entrance to the parking lot directs cars west to east from Seventh street into the parking lot, indicated by an arrow pointing right. Immediately south of the entrance to the parking lot is the exit, which directs cars east to west from the parking lot out to Seventh street, indicated by an arrow pointing left. Between the entrance and exit paths is a light gray barrier running east-west, starting from the boundary against Seventh street to about two-thirds into the width of the parking lot. Immediately south of the Visitor Parking lot exit is a small mid-gray rectangle. South of the Visitor Parking lot, in the southwest corner of the quadrant, is a mid-gray building labelled “Stuve House.” Next to it are two mid-gray, unlabeled buildings, and a white rectangle. The white rectangle is a small paved area only accessible to staff. These rectangles are surrounded by light gray and arranged in a backwards “L” shape, with the white rectangle on the left and the two mid-gray buildings touching each other in a north-south column. The white rectangle is connected to Edwards street by a small path. The eastern half of the southwest quadrant is split into five rectangular property lots, arranged in a column running north-south. All properties are light gray with mid-gray buildings inside the properties. The second property is the smallest and the third and fifth are the largest. All are the same length (east-west) but vary in width (north-south). Going in order from north to south: The first property has a mid-gray rectangular building labeled “Corneau House” on the east side of the property. On the west side of the property are two small square mid-gray unlabeled buildings. The second property has a mid-gray rectangular building on its eastern side labelled “Sprigg House.” On its western side, along the northern boundary are two small mid-gray unlabeled buildings. The westernmost one is slightly larger and rectangular in shape. The other is smaller and square in shape. The third property has a mid-gray rectangular building in its northeast corner labelled “Miller House.” In the property’s southwest corner is a mid-gray unlabeled building. The fourth property has a mid-gray rectangular building in its northeast corner labeled “Dubois House.” It has two other unlabeled rectangular mid-gray buildings, one in the property’s northwest corner, and one in the property’s southwest corner. The fifth property has one mid-gray building which sits in the northeast corner of the property. It is labelled “Shutt House.” The building has a white square icon with a figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the building is wheelchair accessible. In the southwest quadrant, there are several walking paths connecting the buildings and properties to Eighth street, Jackson Street, and the alley. Three north-south walkways connect Jackson Street to Edwards Street. One runs north-south along the western boundary of the quadrant, alongside the east side of Seventh street. An alley runs through the middle of the quadrant, between the western half of the quadrant with the parking lot and the eastern half of the quadrant with the five properties. Finally, there is a walkway that runs north-south along the eastern boundary of the quadrant, alongside the west side of Eighth street. In addition, a wide north-south walkway also connects the northern edge of the Visitor Parking Lot to the Lincoln Home Visitor Center, crossing through Jackson Street. This walkway has stairs leading out of the parking lot to the visitor center. Two east-west walkways connect Seventh street and Eighth street. These pathways run east-west from the eastern park boundary to its western boundary. One is on the northern boundary of the quadrant, running along the south side of Jackson Street past the Visitor Center and Corneau House. The other is on the southern boundary of the quadrant, immediately north of Edwards Street. Smaller east-west pathways also connect the two north-south pathways, running through the five properties in the eastern half of the quadrant. The first property has a walkway running east-west that connects the alley to the Corneau House. A small north-south walkway connects this path to the walkway that runs east-west alongside Jackson Street. The second property has an east-west walkway running along the southern boundary of the property, connecting the alley to the Sprigg House, then alongside the Sprigg House’s southern side, to connect to Eighth street. This path touches the Sprigg House. At the southeast corner of the Sprigg House, the path expands into a small rectangular area in the southwest corner of the property. The third property has a north-south walkway connecting the path in the second property to the Miller House. Another very small path runs east-west, connecting the Miller House with the north-south walkway along Eighth Street. The fourth property has a walkway with a sideways “Y” shape, with the two branching parts of the “Y” connecting the two unlabeled mid-gray buildings in the property’s western corners to the Dubois House. The end of this walkway that connects to the unlabeled building in the northwest corner also runs west to connect to the alley. The end of the walkway that connects to the Dubois House also continues to run east alongside the southern side of the Dubois house, connecting to the north-south walkway along Eighth Street. The fifth property has a pathway that snakes east-west, connecting the alley to the north-south walkway along Eighth street. Starting from the alley, the path first runs east-west then turns south and runs east again in order to go around the Shutt House on its southern side. The path then turns north, runs along the Shutt House’s eastern side and allows for access to the building, before finally turning east to connect the path to the north-south walkway along Eighth Street. In between Jackson Street, Edwards Street, Seventh Street, and Eighth Street, and the walkways that run alongside each of them are thin light gray areas separating the streets from and the walkways. Overlaid on top of the map’s pathways are red lines which indicate ABAAS non-compliant surfaces. Pathways that are designated white on the map are ABAAS compliant. The pathways immediately next to Capitol Avenue, Ninth Street and Edwards Street are designated white on the map, except for the intersection of Edwards and Eighth which is highlighted red. Both Eighth street, which runs north-south, and Jackson street, which runs east-west, are highlighted red. The red highlighted area goes up to the boundaries of the park. The two north-south pedestrian alleys are highlighted in red. The north-south alley running through the middle of the Western half of the park is highlighted red from the Northen edge of the Lincoln Home Visitor Center to the east-west walkway that runs alongside the northern edge of Edwards street. The north-south alley running though the middle of the Eastern half of the park boundary is highlighted red between the east-west walkway that runs alongside the southern edge of Capitol Avenue and the east-west walkway that runs alongside the northern edge of Edwards street thus covering nearly the entire north-south length of the site. The two walkways that run north-south alongside either east-west side of Eighth street are also highlighted red, stretching nearly the entire north-south length of the site between the east-west walkway that runs alongside the southern edge of Capitol Avenue and the east-west walkway that runs alongside the northern edge of Edwards street. These pathways split off to many of the homes throughout the neighborhood and intersect with east-west roads and paths, including Jackson street. Part of two walkways that run east-west alongside either north-south side of Jackson street, between Seventh Street and Ninth Street, are also highlighted in red. The pathway on the north side of Jackson street runs is highlighted in red from Seventh Street to the eastern edge of the Lincoln Home Lot. The pathway on the south side of Jackson street is highlighted in red from the pedestrian alley that runs through the middle of the western half of the site to the eastern edge of the Arnold House lot. These intersect with north-south roads and paths, including Eighth street and several north-south pedestrian alleys. The north-south walkway that runs alongside the eastern side of Seventh street is highlighted in red from the northern boundary of the park to the east-west walkway that runs alongside the north side of Edwards street. The red-highlighted pathway running alongside 7th street extends to the west entrance of the Lincoln Home Visitor Center; to an east-west pathway running between the Bus Parking lot and Lincoln Home Visitor Center that connects to the alley; and to both the wheelchair ramp and pedestrian stair entrances into the Visitor Parking lot. One pathway on the northeast side of the building, that runs east and connects with the north-south alley is designated white on the map. The walkway from the Parking Lot stair entrance to the South entrance of “Lincoln Home Visitor Center” is shaded in red. The entire plaza-area touching the southeast corner of the Visitor Center is highlighted red. Northwest QuadrantAll the pathways to the Dean House lot are highlighted red. The western pathways to both the Beedle House and Rosenwald House are designated white on the map.Their eastern pathways are highlighted red. Northeast QuadrantAll the pathways in the Conference Center lot, Lincoln Home property, and Morse House property are highlighted red. Southwest QuadrantAll the eastern pathways in the Corneau House lot, Sprigg House lot, Miller House lot, Dubois House lot, and Shutt House lot are highlighted red. The western pathways for the Corneau House, Sprigg House, Miller House, and Dubois House are designated white on the map. The most western part of the Shutt House pathway is designated white on the map, but the pathway immediately around the Shutt house is highlighted red. Southeast QuadrantAll the pathways to the Arnold House lot are highlighted red. All the western pathways for the Cook House, and Robinson House lot are highlighted red.

NPS Text Description of Main Access Points for Main Buildings at Lincoln Home NHS Map The following text description of the Map of Main Access Points Map for Main Buildings at Lincoln Home National Historic Site can be used by individuals who may not be able to view the map either partially or in-full. The text description has been provided as an alternative to the visual map graphic provided.
A four-square block map of the historic area of Lincoln Home National Historic Site. The map is oriented with north at the top of the image. This is indicated by an arrow pointing upwards with the text “North” in the southeastern corner of the map. The boundary of the site is surrounded by four roads. At the North boundary of the park is Capitol Avenue, at the East boundary is Ninth street, at the South is Edwards Street, and at the West is Seventh Street. The area is divided into 4 square quadrants by two pedestrian roads, Eighth Street which runs North-South, and Jackson which runs East-West. Many buildings are labelled on the map, including the Lincoln Home Visitor Center and the Lincoln Home. The map is on a gray scale with light gray signifying a grassy area, a mid-gray signifying a historic building not open to the public, and black signifying a building that is open to the public. All text is in black unless otherwise specified. In addition, blue lines and arrows indicate the main access points to public buildings on site and the main walkways to access these public buildings. Four captioned, color photographs are located next to each corner of the map. Each photo is also labeled with a number on a colored circle that corresponds to a circle on the map of the same color and number. The map and photos are on top of a green background. The Northeast quadrant of the map is surrounded by roads and walking paths. On the northern boundary is Capitol Avenue which is a two-way street running east-west, on the eastern boundary is Ninth street which is a two-way street running north-south. On the southern boundary is Jackson Street, which runs east-west and is closed off to vehicular traffic. On the western boundary is Eighth street which is a one-way street that runs north-south and is closed off to vehicular traffic. The quadrant is split into 2 halves, east and west, by a pedestrian alley that connects Capitol and Jackson streets. Pedestrian pathways are on all four sides of the quadrant and run alongside all of the roads.
In the northwest corner of the eastern half of the quadrant, to the east of the alley, just south of Capitol Avenue, is an upside-down “L” shaped mid-gray building labeled “Morse House.” The rest of the eastern half of the quadrant has no buildings and is shaded light gray.
The western half of the quadrant is split into seven rectangular property lots, arranged in a column running north-south. All properties are light gray, most of them lacking buildings. Most of the properties are roughly the same width (north-south) and all are the same length (east-west). The sixth property is about twice as wide as the others and the seventh southernmost property is wider than the first five lots but less wide than the sixth.
Going in order from north to south: The first property is labelled “Remann Lot.” It has no buildings. The second property has a large, rectangular mid-gray building on its west side labeled “Conference Center.” The building has a blue square icon with a white figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the building is wheelchair accessible. The third property is labeled “Worthen Lot.” The fourth property is labeled “Niles Lot.” The fifth property is labelled “Bugg Lot.” This lot is not fully rectangular but has approximately one eighth of it missing in the southeast corner of it. The third through fifth properties do not have buildings. The sixth property is labelled “Carrigan Lot”. Although the Carrigan lot does not have a building, directly east of the Carrigan Lot is a small rectangular lot with a rectangular building mid-gray building, this building and lot are the whole length of the Carrigan Lot and touches the eastern edge of the Carrigan Lot and the southeast corner of the Bugg Lot.
The seventh property, located farthest south in this column, at the intersection of Eighth and Jackson streets, has a building on its western side that is shaded black and is labeled “Lincoln House.” The building has a white square icon with a figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the building is wheelchair accessible. The building is semi-rectangular and has a light gray shaded grassy space as a backyard east of it. At the eastern edge of the backyard there are two unlabeled mid-gray outbuildings, one larger and “L” shaped the other much smaller and rectangular.
In the northeast quadrant, there are several walking paths connecting the buildings and properties to Eighth Street, Jackson Street, Capitol Avenue, and the alley. Three north-south walkways connect Capitol Street to Jackson Street. One runs along the western boundary of the quadrant, alongside the east side of Eighth street and along the western side of the column of properties. An alleyway also runs through the middle of the quadrant, between the western half of the quadrant with the seven properties and the empty green space on the eastern half that contains the Morse House. Two east-west walkways connect Eighth street and Ninth street. These walkways run east-west from the eastern park boundary to its western boundary. One is on the northern boundary of the quadrant, along the south side of Capitol Avenue. The other is on the southern boundary of the quadrant, along the south side of the Lincoln Home property lot. In between Jackson Street, Capitol Avenue, Eighth Street, and Ninth Street, and the walkways that run alongside each of them are thin light gray areas separating the streets from and the walkways. A white rectangle overlays the area on the map with the Niles and Bugg lot properties. It has the following text: “Visitor Center to Lincoln Home accessible entrance: 765 feet.” There are two blue square icons with a white bus picture inside them located in between the southern side of Capitol Avenue and the east-west walkway that runs alongside the south side of Capitol Avenue. These icons indicate that there is a bus stop at these locations. One icon is located in the east-west center of the entire map, or in the northwest corner of the northeast quadrant, north of 8th Street. The other icon is located in the northeast corner of the map, immediately east of where the east-west walkway that runs alongside the south side of Capitol Avenue intersects with the north-south walkway that runs alongside the western side of 9th Street. The Northwest quadrant of the map is surrounded by roads and walking paths. On the north boundary is Capitol Avenue which is a two-way street running east-west, on the eastern boundary is Eighth street which runs north-south and is and is closed off to vehicular traffic. On the south boundary is Jackson Street which runs east–west and is and is closed off to vehicular traffic. On the west is Seventh Street which is a one-way street running north-south. The quadrant is split into 2 halves, east and west, by a pedestrian alley that connects Capitol and Jackson streets. Pedestrian pathways are on all four sides of the quadrant and run alongside all of the roads.
In the Southwest corner of the western half of the quadrant, to the west of the alley, is a black rectangular-like building, labeled “Lincoln Home Visitor Center” in white text. The building has a blue square icon with a white figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the building is wheelchair accessible. The area around the building is shaded light gray.
Immediately north of the Lincoln Home Visitor Center is a white rectangular area labelled “Bus Parking” and is also designated by a black square icon with white “P.” There are a couple of small light gray shaded areas in the parking lot. One sits in the middle of the western edge of the lot, along Seventh street, and is a four-sided shape with the western corners at right-angles and the eastern side of the shape forming a triangular point pointing northeast. Its position creates two openings for vehicles to enter the lot, one at the southwest corner of the lot and the other at the northwest corner of the lot. The light gray area is a small thin ovular shape in the middle of the eastern half of the lot.
To the north of the Bus Parking lot is a mid-gray rectangular building labeled in white text as “Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church” which occupies the northwestern corner of the quadrant.
The eastern half of the quadrant is split into six rectangular property lots, arranged in a column running north-south. All properties are light gray, several with mid-gray buildings inside the properties. Most of the properties are roughly the same width (north-south) and all are the same length (east-west).
Going from north to south: The first property is labelled “Walters Lot.” It has no buildings. This property is the largest property in the column, roughly twice the width of the other properties.
The second property has a rectangular mid-gray building on its eastern side which is labeled the “Beedle House.”
The third property has a mid-gray rectangular-like building on its eastern side which is labeled “Rosenwald House.” To the southwest of the Rosenwald House, close to the southern lot boundary, is a small sqaure unlabeled outbuilding in mid-gray.
The fourth property has several buildings. The largest is a black semi-rectangular building which is located in the center-eastern part of the property. The building has a blue square icon with a white figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the building is wheelchair accessible. The building is labelled “Dean House.” Immediately to the northwest of the building is a small mid-gray square building. In the southwest corner of the property is another small mid-gray rectangular building.
The fifth and sixth properties both do not have buildings. The fifth property is labelled “Brown Lot” and the sixth one is labeled “Burch Lot.”
In the northwest quadrant, there are several walking paths connecting the buildings and properties to Seventh street, Eighth street, Capitol Avenue, the alley, and the bus parking lot.
Three north-south walkways connect Capitol Street to Jackson Street. One runs along the western boundary of the quadrant, alongside the east side of Seventh street. An alleyway also runs through the middle of the quadrant, between the western half of the quadrant with the visitor center, bus parking lot, and church, and eastern half of the quadrant with the six properties. The last pathway runs along the eastern boundary of the quadrant, on the west side of Eighth street and on the east side of the column of six properties.
Two east-west walkways connect Seventh street and Eighth street. These pathways run east-west from the eastern park boundary to its western boundary. One is on the northern boundary of the quadrant, along the south side of Capitol Avenue. The other is on the southern boundary of the quadrant, immediately north of Jackson Street, running past the south side of the Visitor Center and along the south side of the Burch lot.
Grace Lutheran Church has a short walkway from its southwest corner that moves west, connecting to Seventh street. It intersects the walkway that runs south along Seventh street. The church also has a very short walkway on its center-northern side, which connects the church to the walkway that runs east-west along Capitol Avenue.
The Lincoln Home Visitor Center has a few pathways that lead to the doors of the visitor center. One on the west side of the Visitor Center, off of Seventh Street; two on the south side of the building that blend into a small plaza area touching the southeast of the Visitor Center that merges into the pathway that runs east-west alongside Jackson Street; and one on the northeast side of the building, that runs east and connects with the north-south alley.
In between Jackson Street, Capitol Avenue, Seventh Street, and Eighth Street, and the walkways that run alongside each of them are thin light gray areas separating the streets from and the walkways.
A white rectangle overlays the area on the map with the Burch and Brown lot properties. It has the following text: “Visitor Center to the Lincoln Home front entrance: 435 feet.” The Southeast quadrant of the map is surrounded by roads and walking paths. On the northern boundary is Jackson Street, which runs east–west and on the western boundary is Eighth street, which runs north-south. Both are closed off to vehicular traffic. On the eastern boundary is Ninth street, which runs north-south, and on the southern boundary is Edwards Street, which runs east-west. Both are two-way roads. The quadrant is split into 2 halves, east and west, by a pedestrian alley that connects Eighth and Edwards streets. Pedestrian pathways are on all four sides of the quadrant and run alongside all of the roads. The eastern half of the quadrant is shaded a light gray on the map with no buildings. The western half of the quadrant is split into six rectangular property lots, arranged in a column running north-south. All properties are light gray, several with mid-gray buildings inside the properties. Most of the properties are roughly the same width (north-south) and all are the same length (east-west). The southernmost property is the largest in width. Going from north to south: The first property has a rectangular black building around the northwest corner of the property which is labelled “Arnold House.” This building has a blue square icon with a white figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the building is wheelchair accessible. The building is accessible via a ramp on its southern side. In the eastern side of the property are two small, mid-gray unlabeled buildings. The one in the northeastern corner is larger than the one closer to the southeastern corner of the lot. The second property is labelled “Irwin Lot.” It has no buildings. The third property has one long, rectangular mid-gray building located in its western half, labelled “Cook House.” This building has a blue square icon with a white figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the building is wheelchair accessible. The fourth property is labelled “Roll Lot” and has one unlabeled, mid-gray building in its southeast corner. The fifth property is labelled “Jenkins Lot.” It has no buildings. The sixth property has a rectangular mid-gray building on its western side labelled “Robinson House.” This building has a blue square icon with a white figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the building is wheelchair accessible. In the southeast corner of the property is an unlabeled, medium-sized mid-gray building. The seventh property is split into two spaces by a north-south line. The western space is about three-fifths of the total property and has no buildings in it. The eastern space has a square mid-gray building in its northeast corner labelled “Allen Barn.” In the southeast quadrant, there are several walking paths connecting the buildings and properties to Eighth Street, Jackson Street, and the alley. Three north-south walkways connect Jackson Street to Edwards Street, one on the western boundary of the quadrant, alongside the east side of Eighth Street. The north-south pedestrian alley runs through the middle of the quadrant, between the western half of the quadrant with the six properties and the empty green space on the eastern half of the quadrant. The last one runs along the eastern boundary of the quadrant, on the west side of Ninth Street. Two east-west walkways connect Eighth street and Ninth street. These pathways run east-west from the eastern park boundary to its western boundary. One is on the northern boundary of the quadrant, along the south side of Jackson Street. The other is on the southern boundary of the quadrant, along the north side of Edwards Street. In between Jackson Street, Edwards Street, Eighth Street, and Ninth street, and the walkways that run alongside each of them are thin light gray areas separating the streets from and the walkways. The Southwest quadrant of the map is surrounded by roads and walking paths. On the western boundary is Seventh street, which is a one-way street running north-south. On the northern boundary is Jackson Street, which runs east–west, and on the eastern boundary is Eighth street, which runs north-south. Both are closed off to vehicular traffic. On the southern boundary is Edwards Street, which is a two-way street running east-west. The quadrant is split into 2 halves, east and west, by a pedestrian alley that connects Jackson and Edwards streets. Pedestrian pathways are on all four sides of the quadrant and run alongside all of the roads. The western half of the quadrant is occupied by a white rectangular area labelled “Visitor Parking” lot, designated by a black square icon with white “P.” The parking lot is surrounded by light gray. It occupies the northernmost four-fifths of the western half of the quadrant. In the northwest corner of the parking lot is an accessibility ramp angled diagonally from the northwest corner towards the center of the lot. This ramp allows for pedestrian access between the Visitor Parking lot and the walkway that leads to the Lincoln Home Visitor Center. Next to the ramp is blue square icon with a white figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the ramp is wheelchair accessible. Immediately east of the ramp is a small trapezoid area with a small black rectangle. This indicates a slightly raised brick area with a small kiosk. In the southwest corner of the parking lot is the vehicle entrance and exit. The entrance to the parking lot directs cars west to east from Seventh street into the parking lot, indicated by an arrow pointing right. Immediately south of the entrance to the parking lot is the exit, which directs cars east to west from the parking lot out to Seventh street, indicated by an arrow pointing left. Between the entrance and exit paths is a light gray barrier running east-west, starting from the boundary against Seventh street to about two-thirds into the width of the parking lot. Immediately south of the Visitor Parking lot exit is a small mid-gray rectangle. South of the Visitor Parking lot, in the southwest corner of the quadrant, is a mid-gray building labelled “Stuve House.” Next to it are two mid-gray, unlabeled buildings, and a white rectangle. The white rectangle is a small paved area only accessible to staff. These rectangles are surrounded by light gray and arranged in a backwards “L” shape, with the white rectangle on the left and the two mid-gray buildings touching each other in a north-south column. The white rectangle is connected to Edwards street by a small path. The eastern half of the southwest quadrant is split into five rectangular property lots, arranged in a column running north-south. All properties are light gray with mid-gray buildings inside the properties. The second property is the smallest and the third and fifth are the largest. All are the same length (east-west) but vary in width (north-south). Going in order from north to south: The first property has a black ectangular building labeled “Corneau House” on the east side of the property. On the west side of the property are two small square mid-gray unlabeled buildings. The building has a blue square icon with a white figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the building is wheelchair accessible. The second property has a mid-gray rectangular building on its eastern side labelled “Sprigg House.” On its western side, along the northern boundary are two small mid-gray unlabeled buildings. The westernmost one is slightly larger and rectangular in shape. The other is smaller and square in shape. The third property has a mid-gray rectangular building in its northeast corner labelled “Miller House.” In the property’s southwest corner is a mid-gray unlabeled building. The fourth property has a mid-gray rectangular building in its northeast corner labeled “Dubois House.” It has two other unlabeled rectangular mid-gray buildings, one in the property’s northwest corner, and one in the property’s southwest corner. The fifth property has one mid-gray building which sits in the northeast corner of the property. It is labelled “Shutt House.” The building has a blue square icon with a white figure in a wheelchair symbolizing that the building is wheelchair accessible. Three north-south walkways connect Jackson Street to Edwards Street. One runs north-south along the western boundary of the quadrant, alongside the east side of Seventh street. An alley runs through the middle of the quadrant, between the western half of the quadrant with the parking lot and the eastern half of the quadrant with the five properties. Finally, there is a walkway that runs north-south along the eastern boundary of the quadrant, alongside the west side of Eighth street. In addition, a wide north-south walkway also connects the northern edge of the Visitor Parking Lot to the Lincoln Home Visitor Center, crossing through Jackson Street. This walkway has stairs leading out of the parking lot to the visitor center. Two east-west walkways connect Seventh street and Eighth street. These pathways run east-west from the eastern park boundary to its western boundary. One is on the northern boundary of the quadrant, running along the south side of Jackson Street past the Visitor Center and Corneau House. The other is on the southern boundary of the quadrant, immediately north of Edwards Street. In between Jackson Street, Edwards Street, Seventh Street, and Eighth Street, and the walkways that run alongside each of them are thin light gray areas separating the streets from and the walkways. A white rectangle overlays the area on the map south of the Visitor Center but north of the Visitor Parking lot. It has the following text: “Parking lot Kiosk to the Visitor Center via Ramp: 270 feet.” Overlaid on top of the map are blue lines with directional arrows on them that indicate and point towards the main access points of public buildings on the map, as well as the main walkways visitors can use to access these buildings. There are 4 main blue lines running north-south or south-north on the map and 4 main blue lines running east-west or west-east on the map. North-South Blue Lines Along 8th StreetTwo main north-south blue lines run on the two north-south walkways alongside the east and west sides of 8th Street. These lines run between the east-west walkway that runs along the south side of Capitol Avenue and to roughly half a property lot width north of the walkway that runs east-west on the north side of Edwards Street. Arrows overlaid on these lines indicate to walk south along these paths when in the northern half of the site and to walk north along these paths when in the southern half of the site, leading from the ends of the site towards the center intersection of 8th Street and Jackson Street. Branches of the North-South Lines along 8th StreetOn the main north-south blue line that runs on the east side of 8th Street, near the southern tip of the line, a blue line branches off the main north-south blue line into the Robinson House property lot at the lot’s southern boundary. The line runs east alongside the southern boundary of the property lot and then at the rough center of the property moves north briefly and then turns and moves west to touch the eastern side of the Robinson House. An arrow overlaid on this line indicates to walk east from the main north-south blue line along the branching line to enter the Robinson House from its eastern side. Furthermore, at the Cook House property, a blue line branches off the main north-south blue line running alongside the east side of 8th Street into the Cook House property lot. The line briefly runs east then turns north and runs up the western side of the Cook House before turning east to run between the northern side of the Cook House and the northern boundary of the property lot. After passing roughly 2/3rds of the length of the property, the line then briefly turns south and then turns west to touch the eastern side of the Cook House. On the main north-south blue line that runs on the west side of 8th Street, near the southern tip of the line, a blue line branches off the main north-south blue line into the Shutt House property lot. This line runs west alongside the southside of the Shutt House, then turns north and then east to touch the west side of the Shutt House. An arrow overlaid on this line indicates to walk west from the main north-south blue line along the branching line to enter the Shutt House from its western side. North-South Lines in the Northwest QuadrantAnother two north-south blue lines are located in the northwest quadrant of the map. One runs on the pedestrian alley that runs in the middle of the western half of the park, in between the east-west walkway that runs along the southern side of Capitol Avenue and the east-west walkway that runs along the south side of Jackson Street. Arrows overlaid on the northern half of the line indicate that when starting at the northern end of this line, to walk south down the line towards the Dean House property lot. Other arrows overlaid on the southern half of the line indicate that when starting at the southern end of the line, to walk north up the line towards the Dean House property lot. Branches of the North-South Lines in the Northwest QuadrantA blue line branches off the north-south blue line running through the middle of the western half of the map at the Dean House property lot. The line runs east, connecting this main north-south blue line to the west side of the Dean House. An arrow overlaid on this line indicates to walk east from the main north-south blue line to enter the Dean House from its eastern side. Finally, the easternmost main north-south blue line starts in the northeast corner of the map, touching the northern border of the map on Capitol Avenue. The line runs south, down the north-south pathway on the east side of 7th Street, until it intersects with the east-west walkway that runs alongside the northern side of Jackson Street. Arrows overlaid on the line indicate to move south along this path, leading towards the Lincoln Home Visitor Center. This line is connected to another blue line that starts at end of the parking lot ramp that leads into the parking lot, runs up the ramp, and then moves north, crossing Jackson Street, along the east side of 7th Street. An arrow overlaid on this line indicates to move north along this path, towards the Lincoln Home Visitor Center.
East-West Blue Lines Along and On Jackson StreetTwo main east-west blue lines run on the two east-west walkways alongside the north and south sides of Jackson Street. Another blue line also runs east-west in the middle of Jackson Street, on the street itself. The main east-west blue line that runs on the walkway that runs alongside the northern side of Jackson Street runs between the north-south line that runs alongside the east side of 7th Street and the north-south pedestrian alley that runs in the middle of the eastern half of the park. Arrows overlaid on the line indicate to move west along this path, from the Lincoln House property towards the Lincoln Home Visitor Center. The main east-west blue line that runs on the walkway that runs alongside the southern side of Jackson Street, as well as the blue line that runs in the middle of Jackson Street, both are located in between the north-south pedestrian alley that runs in between the middle of the western half of the park and the north-south pedestrian alley that runs in between the eastern half of the park. Arrows overlaid on the blue line running alongside the southern side of Jackson Street indicate that when on the center of the line, one should move towards either the eastern or western end of the line, whichever is closer. There are no arrows on the line that runs in the middle of Jackson Street. These three east-west blue lines are connected by two north-south blues lines. The three east-west blue blues are connected on their western ends by the north-south blue line that is on the pedestrian alley that runs through the middle of the western half of the map. An arrow overlaid on this line indicates to move north, towards the Dean House property if one chooses to continue going north, or towards the Lincoln Home Visitor Center, if one chooses to turn west after reaching the intersection where the previously mentioned north-south pedestrian alley meets the east-west walkway running alongside the north-side of Jackson street. The three east-west blue blues are connected on their eastern ends by a shorter north-south blue line that is on part the pedestrian alley that runs through the middle of the eastern half of the map. This south-north blue line runs in between the east-west walkway that runs along the south side of Jackson street and about two-thirds up the length of the Lincoln House property lot. Arrows overlaid on this line indicates to move north, from the south side of Jackson street towards the Lincoln House property. Branches of the East-West Lines along and on Jackson StreetIn front of the Lincoln House Visitor Center, a short blue arrow branches off of the east-west blue line that runs along the northern side of Jackson Street. This branch points north into the south side of the Visitor Center, indicating to enter the Visitor Center through the south entrance. At the Lincoln House property, a blue line branches off the shorter south-north blue line that connects the three east-west lines on and along Jackson street. The branch starts at the northern end of the south-north blue line, about two-thirds the length up from the southern edge of the Lincoln House property. The branch moves west to connect to the eastern side of the Lincoln House. An arrow overlaid on the line indicates to move west towards the Lincoln House to enter through its back door on its eastern side. A blue dot is located on the line, immediately right of the Lincoln House. A thin black line in the shape of an “L” that is rotated 90 degrees clockwise is connected to the dot. On the other end of the black line is the text “Wheel chair accessible lift for guided tours.” A blue line branches off of the east-west blue line that runs along the southern side of Jackson street. This line branches off at where the main blue line reaches the center of the length of the Arnold House property. The branching line runs briefly south before turning west to connect to the eastern side of the Arnold House.
East-West Line along Capitol Avenue and Branches of this LineThere is a main east-west blue line that is on the east-west walkway that runs alongside the southern side of Capitol Avenue. This blue line runs the entire length of the walkway, from the north-south walkway that runs alongside the east side of 7th Street to the north-south walkway that runs alongside the western side of 9th Street. Arrows overlaid on the blue line indicate that when on either end of the line, one should move towards the center of the line, towards 8th Street and the bus stop located at the northern end of 8th Street. A blue line branches from this main east-west line at the point where the east-west line intersects with the north-south pedestrian walkway that runs through the middle of the eastern half of the map. The blue branching line runs south until it is halfway down the eastern side of the Conference Center property lot, and then turns west, entering the Conference Center property lot until it connects to the eastern side of the Conference Center. An arrow overlaid on the line indicates to move south down the branching line towards the Conference Center. A small yellow circle containing the number 1 inside it is located in the center of the northern inside edge of the Visitor Parking lot, at the location of the kiosk. A small pink circle containing the number 2 inside it is located immediately west of the Lincoln House, on the eastern edge of 8th Street. A small blue circle containing the number 3 inside it is located in the northeast corner of the Visitor Parking lot, immediately south of the visitor ramp. A small red circle containing the number 4 inside it is located in the middle of 8th Street, just south of the intersection of 8th Street and Jackson Street. Bottom Left PhotoIn the bottom left corner of the image there is a color photograph of the stairs leading from the Visitor Parking Lot to the Visitor Center. In the foreground of the image there is a brick pathway with a small brown kiosk with informational signs posted on it. In the mid-ground of the photo is a set of four concrete stairs with handrails on either side and a handrail in the middle. To the right of the stairs at the bottom is a set of green trashcans, and at the top right of the stairs is a column, another column is on the left side is behind the kiosk, and is only half visible. The stairs lead to a short walkway which has two light posts on it, and which leads to a one-story brick building with a gray slanted roof. Other buildings and a blue sky can be seen in the background of the photo. A small yellow circle with the number 1 in the upper right of the photograph corresponds to its location of the map. The caption in white font over a green background reads “The four steps leading up from the Parking Lot to the Visitor Center are 7 inches each.”

The home is built on a small hill and has a painted dark tan brick retaining wall. A dark tan wooden picket fence surrounds the house with an open gate in the middle, with two wooden dark tan columns on either side of the date. Only part of the outside of the first floor on the home is in the photo. The house is painted light tan with trimming being the same dark tan as the fence. There are two windows on the right side of the home with green shutters. Part of a green shutter can be seen on the left side of the home. A set of five concrete stairs with a railing on the right-side lead from the red brick sidewalk through the tan gate and stops at a small brick and grass landing. The stairs continue from this landing with four gray steps leading from the landing to the wooden front door of the house. These stairs have a railing on the right side. A small pink circle with the number 2 in the upper left of the photograph corresponds to its location on the map. The caption in white font over a green background reads, “The nine steps up to the Lincoln Home are 7 – 9 inches each, with a total rise of 6 feet.” Upper Left PhotoIn the upper left corner of the image there is a color photograph of the ramp from the Parking Lot to the Visitor Center. The foreground of the photo shows the edge of the asphalt parking lot. The parking lot connects to a small brick walkway and to the wide concrete ramp which is leading upwards. This ramp has greenery and black railing on either side of it. At the top left of the railing is a light post. On the right side of the bottom on the ramp is a brown sign. The text on the sign reads in large white font, “Welcome to Lincoln Home National Historic Site,” smaller white font underneath this says in all capital letters “U.S Department of the Interior.” On the left side of the sign is a large brown arrowhead. The arrowhead has one big green pine tree with smaller ones in the background, as well as a white bison in the foreground surrounded by green. A tan cut out on the right side signifies water, and white mountains are in the background. White text at the top of the arrowhead says in all capital letters “National Park Service” Mid-way up on the ramp is a green trashcan in the middle of the ramp. The ramp leads to a sidewalk that faces 7th street, which is to the west of the Lincoln Home Visitor Center. On the right side of the photograph behind the sign is part of the one-story brick Visitor Center, the rest is out of frame. There are many buildings and a blue sky in the background on the photo. A small blue circle with the number 3 in the upper left of the photograph corresponds to its location on the map. The caption in white font over a green background reads, “The ramp leading up from the Parking Lot to the Visitor Center is 40 feet long, with a 9.7% incline.”
Bottom Right PhotoIn the bottom right corner of the image is a close-up color photograph of the road and curb in the historic area. The photo is taken almost at a diagonal perspective. The road is on the left side of the photo and it is a tan/gray gravel road. There is a noticeable difference in height from the gravel road up to the brick walkway on the right side of the photo. Gray wooden boards laid in single pieces, end-to-end, about 8 inches tall work as a curb for the road and the step up to the brick walkway. In the midground of the brick walkway are wooden boards in a square shape. On the right side of the brick walkway is a painted tan brick wall with concrete stairs and a railing in the middle of the wall. To the left of the wall is a white picket fence.
