Lincoln Home National Historic Site » Reinstall taller fence around Equipment storage area and add temporary covering near top » Document List
The yard is in a relatively isolated area of the park and street lights are somewhat blocked by other buildings and trees, making it an easier target for break ins. The yard can be seen from the back porch of the Lincoln Home, making it necessary to block the view of modern equipment using solid board fences. The fences will match board fences used throughout the site and will visible blend in with the landscape as seen from the historic zone. The chain link gate will be reused because it cannot be seen from the historic zone.
The use of an 8' tall fence is permissible around equipment areas by Springfield City Ordinance.
