Woodlawn Cemetery (Bronx, New York) (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Woodlawn Cemetery is one of the largest cemeteries in New York City. A rural cemetery located in the Bronx, it opened in 1863, in what was then southern Westchester County, in an area that was annexed to New York City in 1874. The cemetery covers more than 400 acres (160 ha) and is the resting place for more than 300,000 people. Built on rolling hills, its tree-lined roads lead to some unique memorials, some designed by McKim Mead & White, John Russell Pope, James Gamble Rogers, Cass Gilbert, Carrere and Hastings, Sir Edwin Lutyens, Beatrix Jones Farrand, and John LaFarge.
