Good morning,
The Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati, Ohio, is surely one of the most interesting places to find a wide variety memorials.
The Dexter Mausoleum Memorial was built in 1855.
A "Memorial to Julius Dexter" by the Commercial Club, Cincinnati, can be read on Google Books by clicking here. The book is from the Harvard College Library. It is a wonderful short tribute to the man for whom this structure was built.
This memorial is listed in the National Historic Registry and National Landmarks.
Beautiful.
Enjoy,
Lois

That is a very interesting memorial. And so expensive.
I've read the Dexter Mausoleum is often mistaken for one of Spring Grove's three chapels. It is grand!
