Eva, I tried to find out, but drew a blank. Clinton Lloyd, Clerk of the House, made the presentation speech when the chair was given, and after the assassination, Robert Lincoln gave the chair to the Lloyd family. I could not discover anything beyond that.

Ok, I will offer you a larger peep:

Kudos, Roger - I was hoping this clipping looked too cozy for the only German city with a skyscraper skyline...
Since this went so fast I will post another 3rd Advent question. Nevertheless you scored, of course, Roger!

A cemetery?

Two excellent guesses, Gene and Joe, but sorry, neither is correct.

Hmmm, I thought this was a good one. Not any ideas? Actually I cannot think of a hint that doesn't instantly reveal this, so:

Hint #1: I will answer yes/no - questions.

Yes, and the place has also been topic and on this forum.
Hint #2: Think about what kind of place this could be. (Gene's question e.g. has ruled out cemeteries.)

I try a new scan which hopefully sheds more light on the place:
   
And would like to encourage you again to (hint #2: ) think about what kind of place this could be in general.

To my older eyes it looks like a globe, and the only thing that comes to mind is the Globe Tavern. But I realize that is not the answer.
