(UPI) -Abraham Lincoln might be one of the nations most famous presidents, but he was just another lawyer and a family man when he lived in the tan house with green trim on Eighth and Jack-son streets And that's how the custodians of his home the only one he want visitors to ever owned know the nation's 16th president Sunday is the 175th anniversa- ry of Lincoln's birth. We want visitors to get a sense of Lincoln as a man who lived and resided here. said James OToole, superintendent of the Lincoln Home National Historic Site. This is where a lot of his ideas were formulated. When he lived here ... he was a common man who worked here He wasnt a president when he lived here Lincoln bought the frame house for $1,500 in 1844 He lived there except for the two years until he he served m Congress became president in 1861 EdThree of his four sons ward, William and Thomas were born m the house and one of them. Edward, died there at age - 4 Since the National Park Service took over management of y house from the the state in 1971, officials have been working to restore the house and the neighborhood to the way it was in Lincolns time Most of the houses in the area that were not standirg during Lincoln s time have been torn down and several of the rematn- two-stor- mg homes have been restored to the shape they were in during the 1840s. OToole said the home attracts about 400,000 visitors per year, half of them from outside the Springfield area There's a tremendous affinity for Lincoln, O'Toole said. He attracts a wide range of people. But thats a mixed blessing for the house, which is beginning to show its age The problem is when Mr. Lincoln purchased it. he had no idea the park service would run 400,000 people thru here, O'Toole said. That's a lot of people going through the home and the home wasn't built for that ld The result structural problems. including cracks and sinking foundations About $1 4 million in federal funds have been allocated for repairs Officials plan to survey the house and award contracis for the work by September, O'Toole said In addition, OToole said site officials hope to install a climate control system within the house to help protect its interior And maintenance is a continuous project, not just for the Lincoln home but for other homes in the area What we're trying to do is stabilize what we have," O'Toole said If you fix a porch, you end up (working ur.t.l you gft) in the living room It s kind of like trying to eat a barbecued elephant 4e can only do it one bite at a line like weather boiled from Texas to Missouri Balmy temperatures in the 60s and 70s prevailed from the southern Coast, Plains to the while up to 25 inches of snow fell m Utah and 14 inches m Colorado, where temperatures dropped below zero in places Travelers advisories for blowing snow were posted m northwest Kansas and the southern panhandle of Nebraska as the blizzard pushed eastward At least three deaths were blamed on the violent weather that began Thursday.
