Actually, it's his birthplace.

Thomas, what made you think so (other than that Laurie posted it)? I am willing to give a point to you like I have done to others before for asking key questions or posting pics or info to corroborate and hope you share what made you sure.

Thanks - I see you got the hint.
Still possible - three victories or a tie...
There's a frontal view sketch of the house on this site, but it won't let me cut and paste

By the way, Eva, you had me going there when you said that it was not north of Pennsylvania. Walt was born in New York, but on Long Island (just like me!), which is at the southern tip of the state and geographically adjacent to Pennsylvania. Nice trick!
Do you mean this one?

I had considered this, too, for the initial post, but found the other leaving more guessing options.
And this was my alternative for the lilac hint:

Thanks for all your participation and questions! This task covered almost 4 pages and was really interactive....
And it's not over yet. Four more questions, Eva? I'm runnning out of strategies.
Maybe we should call a Christmas truce?
It's not Christmas yet, dear. See you at 6:00 tonight. Nice job tonight!
See you at midnight... welcome to open another window - #22.
Where (exactly) is this "Abe" located?

Long ago I think Bill Nash posted something that may (or more likely may not) be what you posted, Eva. I do not clearly remember what it looked like. But I will guess Cleveland, Ohio. (Definitely a wild guess)
A very good guess, Roger, but I am sorry to say this is not in Ohio. "Remember" is a good keyword though.
Hint #1: The woman next to Abraham Lincoln is not Mary!
Hint #2: Tonight, too, I will answer yes/no questions.
Is it located in the United States?
Yes, it is!

(This was actually another hint!)
Is that Winston Churchill in back of Abe? Maybe not, but looks a little like him.
