Great part of an amazing project!
This Halloween, we’re revisiting one of Laurel Hill Cemetery’s most haunting works of art — the Old Mortality Sculptural Group. Since 1838, Sir Walter Scott, “Old Mortality,” and his faithful pony have silently greeted visitors just beyond the Gatehouse, their stone figures standing watch over the resting place of so many stories past.
Our team breathed new life into this Gothic Revival landmark by repairing the historic stucco and crenellated turrets, restoring the urn and metal roof, and waterproofing the foundation. Subtle lighting now casts new shadows on these timeless figures — ensuring their mysterious presence endures for generations to come.
