Set in a commercial block constructed between 1840 and 1841, the Lincoln Herndon Law Offices are a modern recreation of the historic offices from which Abraham Lincoln practiced law from 1843 until 1852. The exterior of the building still reflects the Greek revival style that was popular at the time, and the first floor of the building has been converted to a visitors center that offers an exhibit gallery and audiovisual theater. The second floor now represents a time period federal court, and the third floor displays the plainness and disorder that is based on accounts of how Lincoln kept his office. Guests are directed to watch a short orientation video before receiving a 20-minute guided tour of the building.
