3D Models of Lincoln Memorial

The Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC stands as a tribute to the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, who led the nation through the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery. The memorial, dedicated in 1922, was designed by architect Henry Bacon, who modeled the building off of the Parthenon in Greece, the birthplace of democracy. The 36 Doric columns, representing the 36 states in the Union at the time of Lincoln’s assassination flank the building, which is also covered with friezes and relief sculptures. The central space is dominated by the seated statue of Lincoln, designed by Daniel Chester French and carved by the Piccirilli brothers. The north and south rooms contain inscriptions from Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address and his Gettysburg Address as well as two murals painted by Jules Guerin.
