Woolworth Memorial Chapel
Woodlawn Cemetery, originally spelled Wood-Lawn, is located at the northern border of the Bronx. In 1863, the Rev. Absalom Peters and the cemetery trustees bought 313 acres (later expanded to 400 acres) of farmland for a rural cemetery which New Yorkers could reach by a special Harlem River Railroad train. The first burial to take place at Wood-Lawn was in 1865, and since then it has become the final resting place of more than 300,000 people. The site combines the natural beauty of the landscape with funerary monuments designed by some of America's most respected sculptors and architects.
The Woolworth Memorial Chapel was built in 1935, a gift from Fred and Velma Woolworth. Built of stone, the chapel includes a bell tower. The interior features terrazzo marble floors, and can accomodate 100 persons. |
