10-90) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET GREEN LAWN ABBEY FRANKLIN COUNTY, OHIO Green Lawn Abbey is a large 654 crypt, 2-story neoclassical mausoleum (approx. 150 feet wide x 77 feet deep) (Photo with four Tuscan columns on pedestals and a set of balustrades between pedestals (Photo #2). The L-shaped wings on either side of the central bay are symmetrical with the flat roofs (Photo #3). Located just outside the City of Columbus in Franklin Township, the surrounding area is a combination of residential and commercial properties. The Abbey sits upon a slight rise with large grassy frontage. A small, wooded area is to the west. No other buildings are on the property. Green Lawn Abbey is nominated under Criterion C as a significant example of early 20" century funerary architecture in the neoclassical style.

It has a commanding presence from the street of an otherwise mixed commercial and residential area. Significantly larger than other mausoleums in the area, Green Lawn Abbey's full featured neoclassical two-story design, its quality of construction, and extensive use of fine materials make it an exceptional specimen of its kind in Franklin and surrounding counties. Modern neoclassical design of the era is typically symmetrical and often made of stone or another material made to look like stone. If made of wood, the design is invariably painted white under the false but popular pretense that ancient temples were pure white marble (in fact, they were painted in deep hues of red, blue, gold, and white). Neoclassical temple fronts boast columns (of many orders) or are fitted with pilasters and piers.

Pediments, entablatures, porticoes, colonnades, and moldings at doors and windows based on ancient designs are common. Roman influences can be found in the orders of columns as well as arched fenestrations and domes. Roofs can be tiled, flat, hipped or gabled The 1½' thick walls are veneered with Mt. Airy, North Carolina, granite (Menduni) and are rusticated and coursed in large blocks with small ¼" to 3/8" mortar joints. The granite of the central façade is of smooth large blocks. The roof of the wings is low-sloped rubber membrane and gravel with small metal parapets for the gravel at the cornice/roof edge. The roof cornice has granite brackets spaced every 4-5' creating a soffit under the cornice line. The central portico has a pitched roof roughly 5:12 with Spanish tile. The rubber membrane and gravel roof was replaced in the late 1990s.

The foundation and basement are cast-in-place concrete. The first floor front façade faces south-southeast and features a centrally located arched entry with granite voussoirs (Photo #4). An arched, iron swinging door added at a later time (decade unknown by owner) leads to a recessed area with two small rooms on the east (storage and a non-functioning lavatory) and one door on the west (leads to the have three triple-paneled, stained glass windows (front, side and alcove of each side). Some stained glass has been repaired with squares of rippled colored glass or replaced with brick when extensively damaged. The rear wall of the Parlor features two single-panel, stained glass windows. The windows are protected by later additions (date unknown by owner) of metal grates, iron bars and/or plexiglas to prevent vandalism.

The second floor exterior features a central prostylos, tetrastylos portico in the Tuscan style. The molded, gabled pediment features an inscription of the year "1927" with stylized doves on either side. "Green Lawn Abbey" is carved floor is terrazzo.A raised design and flanking lanterns adorn the second floor entrance (Photos #7 and #8). Swinging basement steps).Deeply recessed bronze,3-panel double doors once had glass inserts. The first floor wings each Section number 7 Page into the frieze (Photo #5). Two flanking stairs come up to the piano nobile under the portico (Photo #6). The portico NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 (Rev. 10-90) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET GREEN LAWN ABBEY FRANKLIN COUNTY, OHIO iron doors protect the bronze, 3-panel double doors, which are only slightly recessed.

The wings on either side of the central portico are also two storied and contain niches with small Tuscan colunettes and stained glass windows in the front. Triple and single width stained glass windows punctuate other sides on the second floor but do not feature the stunted columns. The second floor does not include the rear extension as the first floor (no alcoves). The interior walls are a ¾" thick white marble veneer from Vermont and the floors are pink marble from Tennessee (Menduni). Most of the ceilings are plaster with neoclassical framing of stylized lilies, also of plaster (Photo #9). Some damage is visible on the ceilings, and some damage has been repaired in the past. The burial locations in the walls have white marble fronts with names and dates engraved in the panels.

A number of panels have bronze gates in front of them with attractive neoclassical designs (Photos #10 and #11). The stained glass symbolism seems to be Christian and is of good quality. The windows are marked from the Rossbach Art Glass Studios of Columbus, Ohio The center of the first floor features a large foyer with another formal room (parlor) beyond a set of plain, square marble pulpit is near the north wall, flanked by two stained glass windows. The footprint of the second floor is like the first but without the alcoves. Floors, walls and ceilings of the second floor are similar to the first except that the found high on the east and west foyer walls. The foyer and parlor on the piano nobile are notable for well- as heat registers from coal furnace in basement) with mantels to the left and right, centered on the walls (Photo #21).

Raised marble scrollwork is above the entrances to the wings. Small family crypt rooms set off by bronze gates line wall light fixtures are present (Photos #22 and #23). Of those featuring domes, the domes are mostly missing or damaged. Numerous pieces of original furniture remain including hardwood benches, chairs and a table (Photos #24 The front façade of the mausoleum faces south-southeast with a moderate slope away to the south. The slope to the north and west of the mausoleum is fairly level but gradually slopes away from the building as well. The structure is surrounded by grass with a small wooded area to the west and a large deciduous tree to the southwest and a line of pines on the east (Photo #28). A dirt and gravel road leads from Greenlawn Ave., winds from the west to the east and up to the front entry finishing with an oval driveway.

To the immediate east and north of the mausoleum is a heavy equipment dealer. This was originally ground owned by the Abbey but sold to raise operating funds. After the property sale, the original drive was relocated from Harmon Ave. to Greenlawn Ave. Generally in excellent and original condition, the mausoleum exhibits a few minor cracks in the exterior granite from settling and poor water drainage. Required repairs include repairs to roof, gutter repair, tuckpointing and caulking. The Abbey has suffered the loss of some of its stained glass windows, particularly on the first floor. Bronze double doors have missing door panels and lock/handle damage is evident. (Photos #12-14).

Reflecting the emphasis on historical precedent, unity of design, Renaissance styles, especially the work of 16" century Italian architect Andrea Palladio, who was in turn inspired by ancient Roman architecture.

At the turn of the 20t* century American architecture, in part in response to what was seen as the excessiveness of late craftsmanship and quality of materials. Architects trained by the formal Ecole des Beaux Arts approach created designs borrowing from classical architecture of ancient Rome and Greece and the Italian Renaissance. Monumental expressions of public architecture showed the influence of the classical and ordered Court of Honor at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Grand single classical buildings or more broad formal approaches to city planning that came to be known as the City Beautiful Movement embraced Neo-Classical architectural style and formal, classically-influenced landscape plans. The 1920s were banner years for new construction, both private and public. Wealthy industrialists and bankers poured money into their favorite civic institutions.

The high tax revenues of those booming times also allowed While neoclassical architecture had been extremely popular for every conceivable type of building across America, it to the 1940s (i.e. John Russell Pope's Jefferson Memorial, Washington). Ancient buildings such as the Parthenon and Erechtheion on the Acropolis in Athens resonated for architects and patrons with an air of permanence and spirituality example, looked for his design of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington completed in 1922 (Baughman 32). In Columbus, this early 20th century emphasis on classical design and form can be seen in a number of public spaces includes the building of several major public buildings including the Neo-Classical style Franklin County Memorial Hall in1902-03 and the 2d Renaissance Revival style Columbus Main Library in 1906, the work of Columbus architect Wilbur Mills.

During this same period, funerary architecture in Columbus' Green Lawn Cemetery displays the influence of the classical revival with Green Lawn Cemetery Chapel and the private mausoleum designed in for the Hayden Family, both in 1902 in the Neo-Classical style. Both buildings, as well as the Franklin County Memorial civic buildings and bridges along the Scioto River in downtown Columbus including the 1925 Central High School, completed in 1932. The Neo-Classical style Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts, by Richards, McCarty & Bulford was completed in 1931. befitting civic buildings, monuments and mausoleums. It was to these ancient monuments that Henry Bacon, for Columbus City Hall in 1926, the former Police Station and Jail, 1928 and the Ohio Departments of State building style Union Depot designed by Chicago architect Daniel Burnham in 1897.

The first decade of the 20" century 19 century Victorian-era architecture and styles, returned to a more formal, classical expression, with emphasis upon stairs, flanking wings, raised basement with rusticated stonework and marble interior featuring coffered ceilings, of early 2o" century Neo-Classical style architecture.

Columbus city planning reflects the classical City marble columns and other classical details These classical features reflect the early 2o" century interest in Italian and buildings dating from the late 19i century into the 1930s.

William Kent's Holkam Hall (1734), Colen Campbell's Houghton Hall (1721), and Lord Burlington's Chiswick House (1729) among other designs (see Vitruvius Brittanicus, 1725) were clearly sources for the Abbey (Wikipedia.org, Greatbuildings.com). The Abbey's five-part massing (central temple, wings, and wing ends) is a common Neo-classical form popularized by Palladio's villas including the Villa Barbaro and Villa Emo near Venice (Boglewood.com). The most notable Neo-classical feature of Green Lawn Abbey is its imposing two-story temple pediment on the piano nobile over an arched entryway with voussoirs on the ground floor. The Abbey also makes use central bay. The stairs with 90-degree turns flanking both sides of the portico can be found on villas of Palladio and subsequent Neo-classical designs especially of the early to mid 18 century in Britain.

Other Neo-classical features at Green Lawn Abbey include pilasters, balustrades, and Roman details in the tympanum or central part of the gable, and a red Spanish-tiled roof. The interior of the Abbey makes generous use of marble in keeping with its Roman and Greek temple predecessors and the eternal and spiritual nature of cemeteries. While displaying direct stylistic influences from Italian and British interpretations of classical architecture, the Green architecture, particularly in association with monumental public and civic buildings and as this classical approach to architecture is translated into standardized plans. The entrepreneurial spirit of the 1920's made commercial buildings a favorite vehicle for investment (Baughman 87).

After private mausoleums fell out of favor due to their high cost, community mausoleums became very popular in the 1920's for those who favored above ground burial (Keister). The Columbus Mausoleum Company operated between the fringe of other cemeteries and build mausoleums with one to several hundred crypts (Menduni). Built in 1927 as the "showcase" of the Columbus Mausoleum Company, Green Lawn Abbey was the finest and largest privately owned interior and exterior); original marble statuary and fine wood furniture. intervention of a county commissioner (Aschinger). Much of the inspiration for Green Lawn Abbey's Neo-classical design comes from the Palladian Movement of 18th in America. The Abbey's architectural distinctiveness reflects the growing popularity and recognition of classical portico or central bay.

This classic temple design features four freestanding columns supporting an entablature and acreage were sold for operating funds. In 1999 a sale of even more acreage was underway when stopped by The Columbus Cemetery Association, comprised of shareholders (crypt owners), took over ownership and operation community mausoleum in the area. It featured all the amenities offered by the company including: thick granite stock market crash of 1929 depleted the association's reserves.
