[QUOTE="TedG954, post: 149927, member: 9701"] While the Garfield Tomb is the big attraction at Lakeside Cemetery, the 269 acres of land display some of the finest sculpture work ever to be seen. The cemetery was founded in 1869 and its inhabitants come from rich and poor alike... but.... The [I]rich [/I]seem to dominate the scenery with headstones that rival some of the finest museum sculptures in the world. Many Italian immigrants lived in the area of the cemetery and many of them were master stone cutters. Their workmanship is very rarely seen today. Thanks to the quality of their efforts, this cemetery is a work of art. The general view of the cemetery. [ATTACH=CONFIG]37062[/ATTACH] A stop at the Chapel is a real treat for art lovers. The Chapel displays a genuine Tiffany glass window. Priceless. [ATTACH=CONFIG]37063[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]37064[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]37065[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
