  • 2021 Angels.Indd
    Angels & Cherubs A Self-Guided Walk of Mount Auburn Cemetery 2021 Mount Auburn Cemetery was founded in 1831 as America’s fi rst rural cemetery. It encompassed 72 Acres. Before that Ameri- cans buried their dead in burying grounds, church yards or land set aside for burials. Rural cemeteries had these characteristics: a permanent site with a picturesque land- scape consisting of family lots, non-profi t, non-sectarian, and open to all. Monuments in Old Burying Grounds were usually made of slate; the grave maker designed a winged skull at the top of the monument, probably signifying physical death and spiritual regeneration. Panels of fl owers, foliage and fruit decorated its sides. (from Iconography of Gravestones at Burying Grounds , City of Boston) The Brown Lot #787 Cypress Avenue This image is an example of a Colonial Revival (1870-1940) headstone in Mount Auburn Cemetery. The marker honors the lives of Henry Howard Brown (1851-908) and Hannah Bangs Thayer (1849-1941). It is from the company of John Evans and takes as its tem- plate a 1690 gravestone in Portsmouth, N.H. Two angels across the top of the monu- ment hold a winged hourglass symbolizing fl eeting time. Down each side are fl orets. The stone is slate. Another Colonial Revival Monument to Explore Lowell Lot #323 Fountain Avenue This monument is the head- stone for James Russell Lowell (1819-1891) and family Lot. Notice the winged skull, a death’s head, whereas the image on the Brown Lot is of an angel. Williams Lot #1697 Spruce Avenue Joseph Watson (1792-1831) is buried here.

  • Chapter 2 Arsenal Street Corridor Study: Existing Conditions
    2 Existing Conditions This chapter provides an assessment of Existing Conditions within the study area. Sections of this chapter present demographics, environmental resources, land use and economic development, a multimodal transportation assessment, and a summary of the transportation infrastructure deficiencies and needs as of winter 2016. Land Use The Local Study Area contains nearly 1,820 separate parcels comprising approximately 442 acres of land. There is nearly 9.2 million square feet of development in this Corridor, containing a mix of residential, commercial, retail and other uses, as shown in Figure 2-1. The assessed value (2015) of these properties equates to approximately $1.6 billion. A detailed land use evaluation (including expanded information on the data above) is included in the Appendix and key takeaways from the analysis include: Retail developments comprise approximately 1.13 million square feet of the parcels fronting Arsenal Street. The retail uses in the frontage parcels account for approximately 88 percent of all retail development in the Local Study Area, likely reflecting favorable traffic and location characteristics of Arsenal Street. The average assessed value (per square foot) of retail properties is similar between the Frontage Parcels and the Local Study Area. Industrial parcels with Arsenal Street frontage comprise 251,200 square feet and are primarily warehouse space. By comparison, there is more than 1.35 million square feet of industrial space throughout the Local Study Area, perhaps reflecting a lesser desirability for these uses (or a stronger desirability for other industrial uses) on Arsenal Street or a lack of suitable land (sites) for development.

Among the first priorities was the development of a safer, healthier city. Boston's burial grounds were seriously overcrowded, and additional space was no longer available within the city limits. Attitudes about death and burial were changing significantly around this time. Mount Auburn Cemetery, founded in 1831, reflected these changing ideas about death, and at the same time addressed the problem of an overcrowded city. Located about four miles outside of Boston, Mount Auburn Cemetery provided ample space for burials amid a tranquil, natural setting.
