FWIW, Grant's tomb in the 1970s...

Grant's tomb today...

[ETL 2]

"Mulholland was on the grounds working on a story about Grant’s Cottage- the site where President Ulysses S. Grant died- for the 129th anniversary of Grant’s death. The cottage happens to be on the grounds of the now closed prison, which had already been empty for three months. "

I just happened to pass by Grant's Tomb on the upper west side of Manhattan yesterday and was recalling how it used to look in the 70s. That is why I posted the before & after pics.

Not bad for a man who was a clerk in his Father’s store when the Civil War began.
