''Here I Grew Up'', is a public artwork by American artist Garo Z.

This mosaic depicting five stages of Abraham Lincoln's life in Indiana between the ages of 7 and 21 can be found on the west side of the building by the escalators leading down to the tunnel to Indiana Government Center South. The mosaic is located between the cafeteria's entrance and an automated teller machine.
==Description==
''Here I Grew Up'' is a mosaic mural on a travertine marble wall that measures 70 ft. in length and 25 ft. in height. It contains over 300,000 hand-cut pieces of Bysantine Smalti (Glass tiles) in 87 different hues.〔 These tiles measure approximately 3/8" x 5/8" x 1/9" thick〔 and were imported from Murano, Italy. The design for the mural was chosen as a winning entry for an art competition held in December 1959, by the Indiana State Office Building Commission.〔 Antreasian's mural entry, along with Young Abe Lincoln (sculpture) by David Rubins, was selected by a jury to commemorate Abraham Lincoln's formative years in Indiana.〔 Antreasian's full-scale color drawings of the Abraham Lincoln figures took six months to complete.〔
