"Woodlawn was chartered by the State of New York in 1858. Designed by noted architect Howard Daniels, it is part of the "rural cemetery" concept which created park-like cemeteries. Daniels created designs for cemeteries throughout New York and Ohio and was a finalist in the competition for the creation of New York City's Central Park."
