Description
The Brown Mausoleum, built around 1903, is a pink granite domed structure with a square base and square side domes. It features a round-headed doorway with two orders and fine panelled bronze doors. Below the dome, there is bronze lettering. The mausoleum is surrounded by boundary walls to the southeast, which include steps leading down to the entrance, all made of pink granite. A bronze gate with the motto "I have the keys of Death and Hades" adds to its significance.
