Notable monuments
Cedar Hill has many unique monuments. One of the most recognizable is the tall pink-granite pyramid, and life-sized angel statue, erected in memory of Mark Howard and his wife, Angelina Lee Howard. Mark Howard was president of the National Fire Insurance Company of Hartford and Connecticut's first internal revenue collector. John Pierpont Morgan's family monument was designed by architect George W. Keller. Made of either red Scottish or Nova Scotia granite, the monument was designed to portray Morgan's vision of the Ark of the Covenant.
