Gifted to the city by Robert and Alma Watchorn, in 1932, the original building consisted of a one-room octagon with a limestone exterior inscribed with quotes from Abraham Lincoln. Framed in a well-lit archway with an inspiring excerpt from the Gettysburg address as the background, a Carrara marble bust of Lincoln by American sculptor George Grey Barnard is the centerpiece of the octagon. Depicted on the domed ceiling mural representing the facets of Lincoln’s character: wisdom, strength, and justice.
You will have many choices for your lunch on your own today at the Food Lab of Riverside.
Our day will end at the newest addition to the Riverside Art Museum. The Cheech, contains the one-of-a-kind private art collection from actor and comedian Cheech Marin.
