Gothic Revival entrances

1870 Erie Street Cemetery, East Ninth Street, Cleveland, Ohio (after sandblasting)

1874 Monroe Street Cemetery, Monroe Street closed entrance, Cleveland, Ohio with 137 years of soot.

Joseph Ireland *1843, † 1905 was a New Yorker who came to Cleveland in 1865, and returned in 1885. A lot of his work has been demolished. The Chardon (Geauga County) Courthouse is still extant. Ireland designed the 1874 gothic revival Monroe Street Cemetery entrance. The Erie Street Cemetery entrance was built in 1870. The two are twins, but i have not seen a reference to an architect for Erie Street. Somewhere, there should be a reference. It is obvious that the second is a copy of the first, and both properties belonged to the city.
