Mountain View Cemetery is one of California's most historically significant designed landscapes — a 226-acre rural cemetery established in 1863 and designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the landscape architect of New York's Central Park and co-designer of the US Capitol grounds. Olmsted's design introduced the rural cemetery tradition to the West Coast, its curvilinear roads, sculpted grounds, and panoramic views toward San Francisco Bay making it a landmark of 19th-century American landscape design. The cemetery is the final resting place of many of California's most prominent historical figures — including Henry J. Kaiser, Domingo Ghirardelli, and multiple California governors — and is documented by the California Office of Historic Preservation as a significant cultural resource. The Chapel of the Chimes on Piedmont Avenue — a columbarium and funeral chapel designed by Julia Morgan in 1928 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places — adjoins the cemetery as a second landmark of national architectural significance. The residential neighborhood surrounding these grounds has developed its own quiet character, defined by the presence of these extraordinary landmarks at its edge. That combination of Olmsted design heritage, California history, and residential quiet is the spirit behind the MY-NHD Mountain View Cemetery collection.
