[edit] American Pharmaceutical Association Headquarters

A building intended to serve as a tomb for Abraham Lincoln on the Mall in Washington, D. C. is literally a cenotaph, as he is not buried there, but rather in his beloved Springfield, Illinois; however, as this building is now used for the headquarters of the American Pharmaceutical Association, it is not usually thought of as such.

This is completely false. The APhA HQ was built in the 1930s for the organization itself based on 1907 plans for a Lincoln Farm Association building that would have been a monument to Lincoln's birth. This is why we require sources, people. Don't post stuff that you vaguely remember and call it a day. I am deleting this portion of the text. -- SavMan 21:56, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

It striks me as improbable tha the cenotaph in London is 900 feet high, and 900 feet deep. This must be a typo.213.182.148.61 13:57, 18 October 2007 (UTC)Tony Waters
