Lincoln's statue stands 19 feet high-there is only one other statue taller than him in DC (the Peace statue on the capital). If you look at his hands you can see that they form an A and an L in sign language. These stand for Abraham Lincoln. They designed it like that because one of his sons was death and mute. This is also the place where Martin Luther King gave his "I have a dream" speech. His two famous speeches are engraven upon the walls.
This is the outside. Lincoln sits in the middle of that building, looking straight at the Capital Building.
