Lincoln Hall

There are many things Lincoln at the University of Illinois in the Land of Lincoln. From the 1927 Lincoln Statue in Carle Park in Urbana, to the 1947 Lincoln Avenue Residence Halls, and the 1957 Lincoln Avenue Resident Addition, the state's most famous politician is well-memorialized. Yet, when they hear "Lincoln", most on the University of Illinois campus think of Lincoln Hall, which turns one century old in 2009.
