Abraham Lincoln Springfield Brick
Above: Front of the Specimen Card
During his life, Abraham Lincoln only owned one home: 413 South Eighth Street in Springfield, Illinois. The Lincoln family moved to the property in 1844 and the building would be their home through highs and lows in both family and political life. This specimen is a fragment of brick from the walkway of that home. The brick was removed during renovation work in 1954.
Originally, part of the First Edition of the Mini Museum we are proud to offer it once more as a stand-alone item.

Each hand-cut brick fragment is encased inside an acrylic specimen jar and presented in one of our classic, glass-topped riker display boxes. The size varies but on average the fragments measure 1 x 0.5 x 0.5 cm. The riker display box measures 4 1/2" x 3 1/2". A small information card is also included, which serves as the certificate of authenticity.
