Pittsfield Cemetery is a historic cemetery at 203 Wahconah Street in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The cemetery lies northwest of downtown Pittsfield, and is primarily notable for the that were initially laid out in 1850. Laid out in the fashionable rural cemetery style, the cemetery is the resting ground of many prominent Pittsfield residents, and contains a number of architecturally significant elements. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Pittsfield Cemetery )〕 Although the cemetery started without much fanfare or styling in 1850, over the next 100 years it acquired a number of interesting elements. Funds for the Allen Memorial Arch and Main Gate were donated in 1885 by Thomas Allen, Jr., and provide an imposing entry to the facility. A memorial to Allen elsewhere in the cemetery is believed to be the largest piece of red granite in the world. In 1900 the chapel was dedicated. In the 1930s cemetery officials added the Superintendent's Cottage and a Maintenance Garage. As the cemetery grew in the 1910s, the noted Olmsted Brothers landscape firm was retained to plan the layout of new sections of the cemetery. ==See also==
