Robert Lincoln's home in Chicago ?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-21-2023 08:26 AM

Kudos, Gene! That was Robert Lincoln's home on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago from 1893 to 1911.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-22-2023 11:18 AM

This is the den in the home of a familiar person on this forum. Whose home/den was this?

If it's who I think it is, my son used to lived within walking distance of this home. I've walked my son's dog by this home.
The person in question led a very interesting life, and was a man of many talents serving in the military, prestigious political positions, and an accomplished writer.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Anita - 08-22-2023 01:16 PM

John Hay?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-22-2023 02:11 PM

Good try, Anita, but it's not John Hay. Gene, your first two attributes regarding his life are correct.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 08-22-2023 03:51 PM

Lew Wallace ?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-22-2023 04:34 PM

Nope, not Wallace.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 08-23-2023 04:02 PM

General McClellan ?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Anita - 08-23-2023 04:47 PM

Robert Lincoln's Chicago home!!

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 08-23-2023 04:59 PM

I think Anita is right

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-23-2023 05:55 PM

Yes, Anita and Eva! That is the den from inside Robert's home at 1234 Lake Shore Drive in Chicago.

Many thanks to Joe Di Cola who sent me that photo many years ago.

Several states contributed funds for the original construction of the Lincoln Tomb. Illinois' donation of $50,000 was the highest. The next best was $10,000. Which state contributed that amount?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - mbgross - 08-31-2023 03:53 PM

is it NY?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 08-31-2023 03:55 PM

I would guess Kentucky.

Best
