Description

The Blumberg Mausoleum is a family mausoleum located in Kensal Green Cemetery, built in 1857. It features Carrara marble and Grey granite Corinthian columns, along with bronze capitals and a door that has been partly bricked up. Each face of the mausoleum has shallow pediments. It is one of the largest and most expensive mausolea in the cemetery, designed in a Roman architectural style.
