The cemetery is divided into eight sections (A-F, I, B-Front) defined, for the most part, by about one-half mile of unpaved roadways. Founded in 1884, Fairview contains more than 3,700 burials of which approximately 1,500 are not marked. 1 Gravestones date from 1862 to the present. Commercial, upright stone markers predominate in the oldest sections (A-D) and most face east. Crosses and folk expressions appear primarily in Sections E, F, and I. Since 1981, over sixty previously unmarked graves have been marked with flat, gray-granite markers. There are three mausoleums and one sarcophagus in the cemetery, each contributing. Some family or individual plots are outlined in concrete curbing, stones, or other low materials; others have corner markers inscribed with a last-name initial. Just two are fenced. The nominated property contains a contributing adobe caretaker's house and small, related shed, located near the northeast corner of the property. The site is planted in grass and landscaped with bushes and primarily deciduous, shade trees. Parts of the lawn and many of the oldest trees have succumbed to the extended drought of recent years, which has necessitated severe city watering restrictions. A historic wrought-iron fence encloses the property along Cerrillos Road. The smaller of two iron gates was moved in 1901 from an earlier Masonic and Odd Fellows cemetery; a larger vehicle gate is recent. Chain-link fencing encloses the other perimeters of the property. The cemetery remains in use and, since 1998, has been owned and operated by the Fairview Cemetery Preservation Association (FCPA). DESCRIPTION Fairview Cemetery is located about one and a half miles southwest of the Santa Fe Plaza near the intersection of Cerrillos road (NM 14, US 85) with St. Francis Drive (US 84-285) and opposite the intersection of Cerrillos and Cordova Roads. The property is bounded on the east by New Mexico School for the Deaf (NMSD), on the west by a small Independent Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.) Cemetery, and on the north by a railway right-of-way. The cemetery's eight sections are lettered roughly by age. The roads that define the oldest sections (A- D) meet at a center point. Sections A, B, and D are roughly rectangular; Section C is truncated at the southwest where it faces Cerrillos Road and is divided by the road leading from the vehicular entrance on Cerrillos Road. The road that once separated Sections B and C is overgrown (Figure 7-1). Many of the headstones in sections A-D are variations of tablets on stone bases that are either plain or rusticated (Photo 4). Obelisks are less frequent and Gothic points rare. The earliest monuments are marble; later limestone and gray granite became predominate. Inscriptions are brief and epitaphs infrequent. Many stones outside of a designated Masonic area are marked with symbols representing Masonic and other organizations, 1 Meyer et al. v.
