Upjohn and the chapel by Warren & Wetmore (the architects behind Grand Central), Morrone will point out the sites of the many prominent architects who are buried at Green-Wood – like James Renwick Jr., cast-iron king James Bogardus, Central Park contributor Jacob Wrey Mould and more. You will learn of their fascinating lives, fruitful careers, and influence in the architecture arena.
