Owner Comments:

In 1850, Senator Jefferson Davis introduced an appropriation bill to enlarge the Capitol. President Millard Fillmore selected architect Thomas U. Walter to construct large northern and southern wings containing new legislative chambers. As work progressed, Walter also designed a new cast-iron dome to better suit the enlarged building. By 1868 the larger building was completed, and the grounds were subsequently enlarged.

The Lincoln Presidency Cent depicts the construction of the Capitol Dome which was ongoing during his Presidency. It is a tragedy to this day that Lincoln was unable to finish his term and oversee the peaceful repatriation of the southern states.

Lincoln is the President I most respect and admire.
