Standing 67.5 feet tall, the Hearn Monument is the tallest obelisk in Woodlawn Cemetery — a striking tribute to George A. Hearn, the art collector and department store owner whose generosity shaped the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Crafted from Westerly granite and completed in 1900, this towering obelisk reflects both power and enlightenment — a form once symbolizing the Sun God Ra and later celebrated in American memorial art following Cleopatra’s Needle and the Washington Monument.

Step back into the Gilded Age—a time when opulence and artistry defined New York’s elite. Robert Maclay, once a prominent ice magnate supplying the city’s grandest galas, was laid to rest by his wife Georgiana after his passing in 1898.

Augustus D. Juilliard founded the Augustus D. Juilliard Company in 1874, distributing textiles such as wool, silk, and cotton. His mausoleum at Woodlawn, designed by Farrington, Gould, and Hoagland and completed in 1921, reflects the legacy he left behind. Upon his passing, Juilliard made generous gifts to hospitals across New York City, with his largest contribution establishing what would become the Juilliard School of Music, an institution that continues to shape the arts today. #WoodlawnCeme
