The Art and Architecture of Death
IN
Memory of
W.H. CRAWFORD,
Who departed this life
July 29, 1846,
Aged 22 Yrs. 6 mos. 5 ds.
A tombstone in the “poster style,” as Father Pitt likes to call it; this is probably one of the ones moved here from older graveyards.
Another mausoleum in this cemetery whose style is hard to pin down. The shape is classical, but the capitals on the columns are more like a medieval interpretation of Corinthian capitals than they are like classical Corinthian capitals. Below we see this mausoleum as it stands in a row with the Redfern and Shaw mausoleums, just inside the Fifth Avenue gate.
