What is Lincoln Parks History?
Lincoln Park, formerly known as Lake Park, was established in 1860. Just five years later, on June 12, 1865, the park was renamed to honor the assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln Park is Chicago’s largest public park and stretches 1,208 acres along the lakefront.
What type of architecture is Lincoln Park known for?
Lincoln Park is where old and new architecture collide.
