Unlike other statues of the president, this statue depicts him without his famous beard, showcasing his appearance during his visits to Chicago in the mid-19th century. The statue was created to inspire hope and remind people of their freedom, symbolizing the values that Lincoln stood for.
In the past, the statue was located in the middle of a traffic triangle at the intersection of Lincoln, Lawrence, and Western.
