Woodlawn Cemetery, West Toledo



I suspect this one had Napoleon's tomb in mind.
The cupola of the former chapel is the only part that hasn't been changed beyond recognition. As it stands, the thing's a horrible mess.
The Ketchams, of the Valentine Theater.






Harry Wachter, the architect.

I'm a bit surprised the stained glass turned out so well, since some were taken through clear glass or plexiglass panes in the doors.




There are some excellent Gothic monuments from the 1920's.

I believe I have enough for about three days of posts. More tomorrow.
