Tomb of President James Monroe (Postcard, 1905)

A National Historic Landmark that serves as the centerpiece of Hollywood Cemetery's President’s Circle, the cast iron Gothic style canopy of the James Monroe Tomb dates to 1859, a year after the former president's remains were relocated from New York. The designer of Monroe’s tomb was Albert Lybrock, a German-born architect who later settled in Richmond. Lybrock is buried in the cemetery a short distance from Monroe.
