Erie Street Cemetery Entrance ID: 2883 | This file appears in: Erie Street Cemetery In 1870, an iron fence was built around Erie Street Cemetery with a sandstone Gothic arch entrance (as shown here). Other measures have been taken to preserve and beautify Cleveland's oldest existing cemetery. In 1840 the cemetery was replanted and the burials began being registered. A century later, over 300 trees and shrubs were planted. New monuments and graves have also been erected to further honor some of Cleveland's more famous pioneers or to take the place of markers that have been weathered or damaged to the point of being indecipherable. | Date: ca. 1870 | Source: Cleveland State University.
