The Cultural Landscape Foundation filed a lawsuit on Monday to halt the United States administration's renovation of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool. The filing alleges the overhaul violates the National Historic Preservation Act, a law passed by Congress in 1966, by replacing original gray stone with blue industrial coating. This legal challenge follows similar court injunctions against federal projects in Washington.
