Historic Preservation

West Tech's Lincoln Statue still stands proud, despite numerous "dings" on his person. Lincoln, a gift to West Tech High School from the Class of 1919.  His head, hands, feet and base are damaged - the wire that made up the frame of the base is easily visible in several areas.

The bronze-toned statute stands 8 feet tall and weighs approximately 300 pounds. It is hollow and made of plaster, and was originally all white in color.

West Tech's Lincoln Statue was prominent featured on the cover of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. To read "West Tech's Honest Abe Emancipated,"
