Part of Pontiac's "Murals on Main Street", twenty hand painted murals
located throughout the city.
Abraham Lincoln attended a reception at the home of Pontiac lawyer Jason Strevell
following a speech Lincoln gave at the nearby Presbyterian Church. During Lincoln's
stay, the six foot Strevell has said that he did not think it possible that Lincoln
was four inches taller than himself. In a letter to his son, Strevell described how
he carefully measured Lincoln, who was standing in his stocking feet with his back to
the doorcasing. Using a two-foot rule on top of Lincoln's head, he found him to be
"exactly six feet four." The artists who designed this mural were Mike Meyer and Adam May.
