Designing Death
Many of us give a lot of thought to the design of our homes. New furniture? New paint? Complete reno? What about designing for our “permanent residences”? Join us for a tour of Green-Wood’s monuments and mausoleums that present distinct artistic styles, including Egyptian Revival, Neoclassical, Art Deco, and Art Nouveau. The tour will have special emphasis on design and historic preservation.
