Description :

Dexter Mausoleum Interior Spring Grove Cemetery Cincinnati, Ohio Below the chapel area of the Dexter mausoleum are the crypts, looking exactly the way crypts are supposed to look. Like the rest of the Dexter mausoleum, the crypts are made out of sandstone. Sandstone, especially if it is installed at a certain angle, tends to “melt” over time. The crypts in the Dexter mausoleum are certainly “melting” and appear quite ghoulish. The rear of the crypt area is illuminated by a shaft which reaches to the upper level chapel behind the altar. The shaft space was intended to contain an elevator for lowering caskets into the crypts, but was never installed.
