PARK AND CEMETERY. 
MAUSOLEUM OP MARCUS A. HANNA, LAKE VIEW CEMETERY. CLEVELAND, O. 
THE HANNA MAUSOLEUM, CLEVELAND, OHIO 
One of the most complete and beautiful examples of 
mausoleum construction in the United States is the 
handsome classic structure recently erected in Lake 
View Cemetery, Cleveland, O., in memory of the late 
Marcus A. Hanna. It is pure Grecian Doric in style, 
refined in ornament, of remarkable grace of line, and 
massive dignity of construction. It was designed by 
Architect Henry Bacon, of New York, and executed 
by The Troy White Granite Company, of Worcester, 
Mass., who were the general contractors for the work. 
The exterior, of Troy White granite, is 50x25 feet 
in ground dimen- 
sions, and 23 feet 
high. The four 
fluted Doric col- 
umns at either 
end of the struc- 
ture are 28 inches 
in diameter and 
13 feet high. 
When the Hanna 
estate decided to 
construct a mau- 
soleum their rep- 
resentative ma d e 
a very thorough 
i n v e stigation of 
granite, and the 
builders take great 
pride in the fact 
that Troy White 
was finally select- 
ed for the exterior 
and for the cata- 
combs and frieze 
on the interior. 
The interior marble work was executed by the Nor- 
cross Company, of Cleveland, O. The two sarcophagi, 
elaborately carved, were ciit from white Norwegian 
marble by the R. C. Fisher Company, of New York. 
The inner roof is of Gustavino tile, the doors of 
standard bronze, with frame glazed with French polish 
plate, and the handles on the catacombs of solid 
bronze. The entire bronze work was executed by 
Jno. Williams, Inc., New York. The floors are of 
Italian mosaic. The ceiling is of glass mosaic, and the 
stone frieze is inlaid with glass mosaic, executed by 
the Gorham Com- 
pany, of New 
York. The fine 
hanging lamp was 
supplied by Ed- 
ward F. Caldwell, 
of New York. 
The structure 
has a setting wor- 
thy of its import- 
ance in one of the 
most b e a u t if u 1 
cemeteries in the 
country. It stands 
on an eminence 
overlook ing a 
lake, and the land- 
scape surround- 
ings are to be fur- 
t h e r i mproved 
next spring by 
planting a d d i - 
tional shrubbery 
about it.
