Initial\u00c2\u00a0planning for the building began in 1916, when the Lincoln National Life Insurance Company\u00c2\u00a0announced plans to fund the construction. (25) \u00c2\u00a0That same year, the Park Board hired an architectural\u00c2\u00a0firm from Louisville to prepare the building plans and construction specifications. Construction was\u00c2\u00a0completed in 1917, and the cabin quickly became a popular attraction. The Park Board felt that not\u00c2\u00a0only was the cabin of &#8220;the greatest interest to all visitors at the park, both old and young,&#8221; but that it\u00c2\u00a0also taught a valuable lesson of patriotism. (26) \u00c2\u00a0In 1920, the Lincoln National Life Insurance Company\u00c2\u00a0wanted to enhance the setting of the cabin within Foster Park and donated a twelve-foot cedar tree\u00c2\u00a0(Juniperus species) that was planted nearby. The cabin measured 17 feet by 13 feet and had a single\u00c2\u00a0door, measuring five feet, eight inches tall. As documented in historical images, a small plaque was\u00c2\u00a0also erected next to the cabin. (See Figure II.10.) The interior of the cabin was decorated with\u00c2\u00a0period furniture and artifacts obtained from areas near Lincoln&#8217;s birthplace, donated by a local\u00c2\u00a0doctor. (27) \u00c2\u00a0While the cabin was constructed from 1916-1917, an official dedication ceremony was held\u00c2\u00a0on August 22, 1920. (28) \u00c2\u00a0The ceremony drew a considerable crowd from the community, further\u00c2\u00a0increasing awareness of the park. Originally, the log cabin was erected within the woodland; however,\u00c2\u00a0in 1936, it was moved to site near the park entrance to make it more accessible to the public. The\u00c2\u00a0period furnishings were also removed from the cabin at this time due to vandalism. (29) \u00c2\u00a0For the next 70\u00c2\u00a0years, the Lincoln log cabin remained untouched within the park landscape until it was renovated in\u00c2\u00a02006. The Lincoln Financial Group donated $5,000 of the $11,065 cost to replace the roof with\u00c2\u00a0waterproof shake shingles, replace deteriorated logs and chinking, add a support beam for the extra\u00c2\u00a0weight of the roof, and coat the interior and exterior with waterproof and bug-proof materials.
