Parking on site. It's now a truck and auto sales place. Look for Abe Lincoln in the window.

The head was stored inside the garage, possibly because the mechanic's shop was closed. The head is substantial, but appears to have been constructed from something like paper-mache rather than carved from stone.

On Prospect Road, on the east side of Ashtabula, you'll find a big ol' Abe Lincoln head. Other than perhaps a reference to "Honest Abe" selling cars or something, I have no idea why it is there.

Prospect Road was part of the Lincoln Highway in the 1920s and '30s. The head may date to then.
