Green-Wood Cemetery’s chapel is landmarked
Goin’ To The Chapel And We’re Gonna Get — Landmarked?
We’re rewriting a line from the beloved old tune by the Dixie Cups to report the latest news about historic Green-Wood Cemetery, which was founded in 1838.
On Tuesday, the city Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) voted unanimously to designate a century-old Gothic-style chapel located in the middle of the famed 478-acre graveyard as a landmark.
The chapel was designed by Warren & Wetmore — the architecture firm that designed Grand Central Terminal.
