Designed by the architect of the Old Chicago Water Tower and predating it
by five years, the Rosehill Cemetery Entrance is a rare Midwestern
example of castellated Gothic architecture. Many prominent Chicagoans
are buried at Rosehill, which is one of the city's oldest private
cemeteries. Their plots are marked by a wide variety of distinctive
memorial sculptures. |
