most imperishable nature. The walls 
are of reddish gray St. Cloud granite. 
The dome and roof are of Gustavino 
tile, with an outer covering of Span- 
ish wall tile embedded in elastic ce- 
ment. The interior finish is a most 
interesting and valuable example of 
the mosaic artist’s art, the walls, ceil- 
ings and dome being designed and ex- 
ecuted in Venetian mosaic imported 
for the purpose, and set by Italian 
artists of great ability. These mo- 
saic decorations are set off by a har- 
monious combination of marbles in 
floor, wainscoting and stairs. 
The front entrance doors are of 
solid bronze, ornamented in low re- 
lief; all other doors being of copper, 
as are also the window frames and 
sash. These are glazed with art glass 
mosaic set in the metal. 
The interior cornice at the base of 
the dome is of Teco pottery, the in- 
scription being modelled in clay and 
inlaid with gold mosaic. 
The electric lights are concealed in 
the cornice and back of the arches, 
and furnish a reflected light. The 
heating and ventilating system is con- 
cealed behind marble and metal grill 
work. A hydraulic lift connects the 
chapel with the crematorium, the re- 
ception room of which is finished in 
white Italian marble. 
The front portion of the basement 
is to be finished as a columbarium 
with catacombs and niches for in- 
cinerary urns as the custom of cre-

mation shall increase its demand. In 
fact, the design of the mortuary 
chapel is such that as the future may 
demand, subterranean extensions can 
be made, and each generation find that 
its mortuary requirements have been 
anticipated as far as possible in this 
initial effort to provide a model 
chapel and crematorium for burial 
uses that is beautiful and convenient 
as modern art and skill can produce. 
The following brief quotation from 
the address of Charles R. Lamb, the 
decorator of the interior at the dedi- 
catory e.xercises, gives some other in- 
teresting facts about the interior of 
the structure: 
“My mission, if I had one, would 
be to tell you something about all 
the work that the interior represents. 
I would like, if there were time, to 
speak of the beautiful things Mr. 
Jones, your architect, selected in mar- 
ble from Venice, of the great cathe- 
dral, and to tell you more about the 
work there which has been going on 
in mosaic since the early times. I 
would like to make personal to you
