"The commission and Congress ultimately agreed to upgrade the Potomac Park site and approved architect Bacon's proposal to build a huge, neoclassical Greek Doric temple. The temple was based on the Parthenon in Athens. Bacon believed that "a memorial to the man who defended democracy should be modeled after a structure from the birthplace of Democracy," according to the National Park Service." https://www.stripes.com/news/us/lincoln-...o-1.583587

Agree!
I have no problem with the one that was chosen. I’m just saying I like the idea of the pyramid for reasons stated.
Me too! It does compliment the Egyptian obelisk.
