English: As seen on an overcast December 2022 afternoon, the Gothic Revival aesthetic of the south entrance gate to the Niagara Falls Memorial Park in Lewiston, New York presents an interesting architectural contrast vis-à-vis its Neoclassical northern counterpart. Along with the similarly-styled chapel, it's part of the second phase of construction at this 30-acre nonsectarian cemetery a short distance outside the Niagara Falls city limits, undertaken in 1937 following plans by Buffalo-based architect Louis Greenstein. Here we have an arrangement where a pair of tall posts of randomly coursed fieldstone are flanked by a semicircle of half-height walls. A quartet of stepped buttresses project diagonally from each corner of the post, which are further adorned by oversized urns and engraved stone panels that spell out the cemetery's name in a Celtic-looking typeface. Equally interesting is the philosophy governing the design of the cemetery grounds: an advertisement in the Niagara Falls Gazette in advance of its 1929 dedication wasted no time in elucidating its differences from the competition. Here, befitting the place's name, the ambience was to be that of "a park in every sense of the word". "Unsightly shafts or markers" were strictly prohibited in favor of "grave[s]... marked only with a green bronze plate, 12x16 inches, set flush with the ground, erected upon a concrete base", from which "no variation of size or design… [were] allowed". The expert landscaping is characterized by "green lawns, neatly trimmed hedges, and winding boulevards… all nature blending together in a plan of loveliness", and the cemetery's operations were financed courtesy of a permanent perpetual-care fund, thus assuring against the possibility of "any assessments, added expenses or any form of charge" for lot holders beyond that of their initial purchase. Today, aside from the Greenstein-designed structures, the only other major deviation from the vision set forth by its founders is a cluster of small columbaria dating to the 2010s, where cremains are stored in niches.
