The Lincoln Memorial, on the extended axis of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., is a United States Presidential Memorial built to honor President Abraham Lincoln. The architect was Henry Bacon, the sculptor Daniel Chester French, and the painter Jules Guerin.

It was built to honor Abraham Lincoln. I think it was built by Acme Contractors.
