Description :

Gerrard Mausoleum Spring Grove Cemetery Cincinnati, Ohio Built in 1936 for the Gerrard family, this was one of the last of the grand mausoleums built at Spring Grove. Its architecture is entirely appropriate for the times: a blend of modern classicism and art deco. Its smooth surfaces and restrained embellishments are often seen in public buildings built around the same time. The bronze door is graced with a cut out of grape tree, reminiscent of the Arts and Crafts Style while the window grills are more Art Deco in their design.
