This is one of those topics that I can't believe I haven't written about yet because I worked here in the Data Processing (actually, card tabulating) Department during the summers of 1967&68. I worked on the top floor of the new building that was on the Calhoun side of the block. I see that Google Maps now labels that building as Lincoln Financial Group. I can't find a label for the Lincoln Museum. I wonder if it is no longer there in the old building.

Kathryn Neddeff I worked there for many years 👍🏻They employed many people in Fort Wayne sad when they moved their headquarters Heather Lynn shared Randy Carr I remember doing a "Lincoln Pilgrimage Hike" on Lincolns Birthday a number of times. From Scout House, N on Ardmore, to E & N on Sandpoint, N on Bluffton, N on Broadway, E on Berry, to Statue for a celebration. circa 1965. Rachel Oglesby Paul Manship also created the gold sculpture at the center of the Rockefeller in NYC. Manship did the sculpture in for Lincoln Life because the founder of LL was a huge fan and avid collector of his work. He donated a lot of his collection to what is now FortWayne Museum of Art, where they are occasionally on display. Many wondered why the statue wasn’t more of a presidential portrait, but the commission was to portray Lincoln as he looked when he lived in Indiana. So this is Lincoln the young man. |
