NOTES
Additional Information:Combination flat and gable roof; Egyptian Revival elements at both ends joining basilica form in center. Although having a late constuction date, the mausoleum is a very fine example of Egyptian Revival and the only example of the style in Wausau, although it is impressive when considered within a larger regional context as well. Details include lotus columns, cavetto cornice and a Phoenix with orb over entrance.
