Mount Feake Cemetery
Mount Feake Cemetery is a historic cemetery at 203 Prospect Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. Established in 1857, it is the city's second cemetery, after Grove Hill Cemetery, and is one of the best-preserved garden cemeteries in the state. It takes its name from Waltham's highest point, Mount Feake, which was named by Governor John Winthrop in 1632 for his future son-in-law, Robert Feake.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Mount Feake Cemetery )〕 The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.〔
Mount Feake Cemetery was designed by Robert Morris Copeland, and was from its inception compared to the older Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge. It stands on a somewhat rugged parcel of land that rises above the Charles River across from the Waltham Watch Company complex. A series of winding lanes, designed to complement the terrain, provide access to all parts of the cemetery. Most of the grave markers are made of granite, although marble and limestone are also well-represented.〔
Sadly, the brick pumping station built in 1872, along with all of the other associated buildings, formerly mentioned in this article no longer exists. Though the outlying buildings disappeared long ago, the remains of the pumping station itself lasted well into the last century, replete with their central feature, a massive 19th century steam engine that no less than its strange, ruinous surroundings never failed to leave a lasting impression on all those who happened upon it.
