PARK AND CEMETERY 
15 
The objectionable features of this class of work are 
its indiscriminate use, most of it being overdone, giving 
a mass of boulder effect, and from its being a dirt 
catcher, leaving a streaked appearance on the rock, 
which is marring to the stone and the artistic effect of 
the design. 
It is used to best advantage in treatment of the 
Gothic and Romanesque architecture, in which free 
latitude is given the designer. It is characteristic of 
these styles, which should be rugged and bold in the 
lower sections and tapering to more refined lines as the 
top is reached. It is essentially detrimental to classic 
designs, being incongruous with the lines of grace and 
beauty which these styles demand.
