Lincoln Memorial Tower, Gothic revival tower in Lambeth, England
The Lincoln Memorial Tower rises 200 feet with a spire constructed from red and white stones at the intersection of Westminster Bridge Road and Kennington Road.
The tower opened on July 4, 1876, funded by American donations to commemorate President Abraham Lincoln and mark the centenary of American independence.
The basement contains the relocated coffin of preacher Rowland Hill and inscriptions detailing the tower's purpose in celebrating emancipation and Lincoln's legacy.
The structure stands near Waterloo station and Lambeth North tube station, with the adjacent chapel now functioning as a cafe operated by Oasis Church Waterloo.
The spire incorporates a pattern using red and white stones to represent the stars and stripes of the American flag, reflecting its connection to American history.
