On February 18^th of this year, the fully restored cottage used by Abraham Lincoln and his family as a summer retreat was reopened to the public as a National Trust Historic Site. Robinson Iron worked from historic photos to recreate the cast iron entry stairs and balcony railing “Portfolio Summer 2005”. As you can see the installation of these important pieces add to the overall authenticity of the project.
