The Memorial is in the form of a Greek Doric temple architected by Henry Bacon. A large sculpture of a seated Abraham Lincoln was done by Daniel Chester French and occupies the central area. Nearby are inscriptions of two well-known speeches by Lincoln, The Gettysburg Address and his Second Inaugural Address.
