PARK AND CEMETERY. 
The determined 
effort on the part of 
Superintendent Fal- 
coner to give every 
prominent monu- 
ment and lot in Al- 
legheny a frame- 
work or setting of 
vegetation is well 
shown in the view 
of the Moorehead 
lot and mausoleum 
on page 524 . The 
circular massive 
lines of the mauso- 
leum are every- 
where emphasized 
in the landscape 
picture. Even the 
low rolling, heavily 
wooded hills in the 
background seem 
to have been de- 
signed to contribute 
to the effect. The 
circular lot, the 
stone wall outlining 
it, and the mas- 
sive broad-spread- 
ing tree at the left 
are all woven into 
the picture. The 
trailing vines on the 
building, and the 
vines and low shrub- 
b e r y judiciously 
placed on the en- 
closing wall, relieve 
the color of the 
stone work and 
blend it with the 
green of the land- 
scape to make a pic- 
ture of rare charm. 
Lot enclosures of 
all kinds have been 
abolished in Alle- 
ghany, and are ra- 
pidly being r e- 
moved, but this one, 
placed in, the early 
days, is so well 
treated and so well 
harmonized with the 
structure itself that one is not sorry 
it has been left as a rare example of 
how a lot enclosure designed to har- 
monize with its memorial, may be 
not unsightly when it has plenty of 
room and is artistically treated by 
both the designer of the monument 
and the landscape architect. 
How well the formal lines of the 
evergreen trees and shrubs serve to 
effect the transition between the 
classic architectural lines of mauso- 
leums, and the naturalistic landscape 
about them and blend the refined

architectural mass with the natural- 
istic lawn to make a harmonious pic- 
ture, may be seen in the two views 
from the Woodlawn Cemetery book. 
These also show structures in which 
the prevailing general style is that of 
circular vaults of highly finished 
architecture. The Warner mauso- 
leum, shown in a view that is effec- 
tively chosen for its pictorial value, 
is almost hidden by a tall conifer, 
whose low growing branches with 
their broad horizontal lines, merge 
the vertical lines of the building into 
the horizontal plane of the lawn. The 
walk, disappearing at the front and 
the right center, balances well with 
the touch of open sky in the distance, 
and is picturesquely broken in front 
by the planting in the corner of the 
picture. 
The domed roof of the other mau- 
soleum is so fittingly related to the 
planting in the foreground that the 
rest of the structure is entirely lost 
sight of. The graceful conical lines 
of the trees seem to carry the lines of
