It is argued to meet the exception for graves because no other appropriate site directly associated with his productive life survives. The site retains high integrity despite weathering of the monument's carvings.","narrative":"Admiral David Glasgow Farragut is buried in a circular plot on a high rise in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, New York. A tall marble column on a granite base, shaped like a ship's mast, dominates the circle. It is carved with a sword, sextant, compass, anchor cable, a draped flag and three shields, including one that appears to show his flagship, the USS Hartford. Low footstones mark the graves of Farragut, his wife Virginia, their son Loyall and Loyall's wife Gertrude. The New York stone carvers Casoni & Isola made the monument. Farragut won the Union victories at New Orleans and Mobile Bay during the Civil War and became the first rear admiral, vice admiral and admiral in the U.S. Navy. He died in 1870. The nomination identifies the gravesite as the most intact surviving property directly tied to him, and it retains high integrity despite weathering of the carved surfaces.","period_of_significance":"1870","architect_builder":"Casoni & Isola, stone carvers","architectural_style":null,"criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Still used as a cemetery; the monument's upper portions are in remarkably good condition, while carvings at the base of the pedestal are dulled by weathering.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:39.196579-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/12001008_NHL.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/12001008/a1d1c732fe-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/12001008/a1d1c732fe-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Anthony22","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Admiral_David_Farragut_Monument_1024.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Anthony22</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Admiral_David_Farragut_Monument_1024.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"11000563","name":"Woodlawn Cemetery","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/new-york/woodlawn-cemetery-11000563/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75315649","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiral_David_Glasgow_Farragut_Gravesite","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14706156"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/the-bronx/farragut-admiral-david-glasgow-gravesite-12001008/"}
