Lincoln Home Tour - Nameplate
Since Springfield homes were not numbered until 1873, the Lincolns, like many of their Springfield neighbors, used a front door nameplate to identify their home to visitors. On June 27, 1860, a reporter of the Utica (New York) Morning Herald described the Lincoln Home as he first saw it on June 21st: "A modest-looking two story brown frame house with the name 'A.Lincoln' on the nameplate, told me that my pilgrimage had ended."
