Description
This is the entry gateway and drive into the cemetery. There are 16 negatives in this order which was placed by the Sunnyside Mausoleum Association. Many of the negatives show the graveyard and streets around Sunnyside. The history of Sunnyside was that the main building was built in 1921 in a Spanish Renaissance style. It features a Foucault Pendulum, one of only 6 at the time it was built. Originally the Cemetery name was Sunnyside Memorial Park. In 1923, amid all the fighting over oil and a place for a mausoleum, a new "model" cemetery was established with an entrance off Cherry Avenue at 1500 E. San Antonio Drive. It then became known as Forest Cemetery, Long Beach in 1978 by the Bryan family. It was the second largest mausoleum in the United States when it was sold.. The site is part of the Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Long Beach. http://historiclongbeach.blogspot.com/2013/01/more-on-early-long-beach-ca-cemeteries.html
