This peaceful Massachusetts graveyard was one of the first "garden-style" cemeteries in America.
This folly was photographed in early spring at Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge. It is reminiscent of structures that you can see in formal gardens in England, which, in turn, were derived from southern Mediterranean garden landscapes. The classic shape of columns in a semi-circle, rising from a proportional base references Graeco-Roman architecture, albeit in a romanticized form.

Thanks to Vanishing Cincinnati's Facebook page for the following picture of Inwood Park in Mt. Auburn which inspired this blog post: Dancing Pavillion at Inwood Park - From the Hanseman Archives - Source Cincinnativiews.net gives a wonderful summary of the history of the park: Originally called "Schoenberger's Woods" this site along the Vine Street hill south of McMillan was the summer home of Cincinnati Millionaire George K. Schoenberger. It later became of source of stone used for the foundations of many Cincinnati homes. After the quarry was abandoned, the site turned into a dump. In 1904 the city acquired the 20 acres of land and completed a park that had already been started by local volunteers. Not seen in these cards is the 10' granite monument honoring Friedrich Ludwig Jahn (1778-1852), founder of the Turner Society in Germany, (see Turner Page). Turner societies regularly paraded up Vine Street from their hall at 14th and Walnut Streets to hold picnics and other events here. It was unveiled on October 22, 1911. I decided to look through the Cincinnati Enquirer articles available through the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County to verify this history. I found that this park was enjoyed for many years by a variety of local groups even before it became an official city park. Enjoy the following articles all from the Cincinnati Enquirer: May 29, 1872 Sept 24 1872 May 27 1874 Jul 21, 1879 May 17, 1880 Aug 15 1881 Sept 21, 1894 Jan 24, 1903 Apr 6, 1905 Jun 20, 1905 Feb 25, 1908 Nov 24, 1908 Nov 19, 1909 Oct 23, 1911 Dec 20, 1914 Dec 29, 1915 1869 Titus Map of the Inwood Park region and the Cincinnati Orphan Asylum - Source 1904-1930 Map of Inwood/Taft Park (named Taft Park on this map) - Source The following pictures were found at CincinnatiViews.net: The large building in the distance in the postcard above is the Cincinnati Orphan Asylum, built in 1860. It was rebuilt in 1930 by Hannaford & Sons as the Children's Convelescent Home and closed finally in 1973. The 1930 building still exists and was converted into the Wellington Place Medical Arts Center.

By the time my wife and I arrive at the Mount Auburn Cemetery at 6:30 a.m., the parking lot around the fountain is already full and minivans with birders from across New England are streaming in. We find a spot and stroll over to where we find our guide for the morning, Carol Decker, director of Mass Audubon’s Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary. As if on cue, a red-tailed hawk flies overhead, while to our left, a vibrant Baltimore oriole sits on a branch, twig in beak.

On the opposite side of the cemetary, almost at the edge, is a headstone in the form of a cube balancing on a corner. That headstone & this sculpture here are the only seemingly "modern" designs I was able to find in the park.

The Interweave Knits Fall 2018 features one of my favorite menswear designs: Mt.Auburn Cardigan. It has everything I love in mens knits: the tweed yarn, cables and rich texture of Moss stitch. The bottom ribbing of this cardigan is started from Tubular Cast On and I decided to make this tutorial, explaining in details how it works. This particular Tubular Cast On starts from Italian Provisional Cast On method, worked with waste yarn, but you can, in fact, work a few rows of regular Stockinette s
