Kudos, Roger - you are extending the lead! The statue is indeed near Lisbon:

Thanks, Eva. The key was here. I googled the weather for a bunch of European cities, and the closest to what you posted was Lisbon.

V-e-r-y good job - I think everyone will agree such efforts deserve a bonus point!

Happy 4th Advent - here's your today's Advent Trivia task. What is depicted in #18, and where is it?

Major's Hall in Bloomington, Illinois, where Abraham Lincoln gave his Lost Speech in 1856.
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-18-2016 05:58 AM
Excellent guess, Roger, but, sorry, not correct.
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - RJNorton - 12-18-2016 06:26 AM
St. Lawrence Hall in Montreal where John W. Booth stayed.

Hint#1: You are right as for the kind of facility.
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - RJNorton - 12-18-2016 08:56 AM
I am clueless - the National Hotel in Washington?
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-18-2016 09:11 AM
Another excellent guess, Roger, but, sorry, not in Washington.
Hint #2: It's in one of Lincoln's "homestates". (It was - since turned down in 2005.)

Is this the place (after some extensive renovations) located in Franklin, Nebraska

Another outstanding research, Gene, but not the place either. To clarify - "homestate" was supposed to mean that Abraham Lincoln had lived (not just boarded) in the respective state.
Hint #3: Members who especially lately followed the forum attentively and thoroughly are much in advantage.
Hint #4: Abraham Lincoln and another protagonist were said having stayed there at least once.
