ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, OAK HILL 
CEMETERY, EVANSVILLE, IND. 
The illustrations herewith give perspective 
view and general plan of the new administra- 
tion building recently completed at Oak Hill 
Cemetery, Evansville, Ind. It was built from 
designs by Messis. Harris & Shopbell, archi- 
tects, and the general dimensions are given 
on the plan. The exterior is constructed of 
Bedford limestone with roof of light Spanish 
tile. The interior walls are of Columbus, 
O., pressed brick, unglazed, with red oak 
floor and ceiling. There is also a fire proof 
vault for records, etc. furniture has been 
added to harmonize with finish. A ten-foot 
basement extends under the entire building, 
in which the heating furnace is located, 
together with waiting rooms for ladies and 
gentlemen and a private office for the super- 
intendent. The cost of the building, exclu- 
sive of terrace work, was $ii,ooo. The 
building seen to the left rear was the old 
office and residence building which has since 
been removed. It stood close to the main 
entrance to the cemetery, and did not add to 
the dignity of the surroundings. Its site has 
been planted and a small lake has been 
created near by. We are indebted to Mr. 
Wm. Halbrooks, superintendent, for photo- 
graphs and particulars.
