tecture and is unique as a cemetery building, unit- 
ing with its exterior beauty a modern completeness 
of arrangement within. It is built of brown stone 
from the Long Meadow quarries at Massachusetts, 
from designs of Mr. C. W. Hopkinson, architect, of 
Cleveland, at a cost of some $20,000. At the front 
and extending 25 feet above the main building is a 
tower from which beautiful views of the cemetery 
may be had. The wide stone arched verandas with 
an ample supply of settees is an inviting and useful 
feature of the building. 
The first floor contains a large well lighted wait- 
ing room, which, like the vestibule and ladies’ toilet 
room adjoining, has mosaic floors and high arched 
and paneled ceilings of selected oak. The art win- 
dow in the waiting room contains 2,955 pieces of 
plain and stained glass. The broad massive man- 
tel and fire-place with gas logs, lend a comfortable 
appearance to the room. The superintendent and 
secretary’s office with its decorated walls and semi- 
circular windows is finished in quarter sawed oak 
and polished oak floor. A well constructed fire- 
proof vault for books, maps and records, adjoins the 
office room. From the hall a handsome winding 
staircase leads to the two large rooms on the second 
floor, intended for the use of the cemetery trustees. 
The wood finish of the entire building is of highly 
polished quarter sawed oak. All the rooms are 
fitted with gas chandeliers of neat design in Flemish 
finish. In the basement are the closets and storage 
rooms and furnace for heating the building.
