Artist's Description
This elaborate Gothic Revival cast iron cage is the gravesite of James Monroe, the fifth president of the United States. After initially being buried in New York City in 1831, his body was moved back to his native Virginia in 1859. He is interred in Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia, right in the center of President’s Circle.
It is easy to see why the locals have nicknamed Monroe’s tomb, “The Birdcage.” The tomb is architecturally significant because of the use of cast iron. Cast iron was not a material commonly used at that time for this purpose. The delicacy and degree of flamboyancy achieved in its creation was a first for the period.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1971 for its unique architecture.
