From the November 2, 2014, Chicago Tribune by William Hageman.
Henson Robinson Co. of Springfield, Illinois, recently undertook a job on a very famous house in town, the one where Abraham Lincoln and family lived in from 1844 to 1860 when they left to take up quarters in an even more famous house.
The 153-year-old firm replaced a 25-year-old heating and air conditioning system and they had to be "inordinately careful." They did it in April-May at a $150,000 cost.
They have also worked on Lincoln's Tomb, the Capitol dome and the Dana-Thomas (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright) House. They also restored the home of the firm's founder, Henson Robinson, which is located three houses south of Lincoln's.
