Highlight Carved Stone Street Number to improve visibility
Lincoln Home National Historic Site » Highlight Carved Stone Street Number to improve visibility » Document List
With the Administrative offices moving into the Cook House (HS-19), the park's shipping address will change as well. The Cook House already has the street number carved into the stone base of a front porch pillar, but age and exposure have worn it down, making it difficult to see. This project proposes painting the rectangle "base" of the sign with reflective white paint and the numbers black, matching the preferred color scheme by fire and police units. The Cook House is restored to circa 1920 when house numbers were in use. The numbers face west and due to the angle, are not visible from the Lincoln Home.
Highlighting the street number will aid in deliveries, and improve police and fire response if needed.
