Springfield Tour

[RJNorton]

Laurie, I scanned this photo from p. 98 of Lincoln: An Illustrated Biography by Philip B. Kunhardt, Jr., Philip B. Kunhardt III, and Peter W. Kunhardt. The caption says it was taken after the addition was added in 1856, but no specific date is given. If this photo is as old as I think it is then I think it's unlikely the gutter system was created by the NPS. I think they have tried to copy the original gutter configuration.
