Henry Shaw Mausoleum

Missouri Botanical Garden-St. Louis, Missouri
Camera: iphone4 (Pudding Camera Ap --Set on Vivid Color)

*Mausoleum Garden
This garden is a step into the past, as if taking a trip back to the Victorian Age. A wrought-iron fence encloses the area, which is sheltered by majestic, towering oaks and sassafras trees. The ground is blanketed by Baltic ivy and liriope. In spring, small blossoms of snowdrops and scilla peek through the ivy and liriope. It is here that Garden founder Henry Shaw rests.

The mausoleum was designed by architect George I. Barnett and is constructed of rose colored granite with a copper roof. Shaw is laid to rest beneath a white marble sculpture sculpted by German Ferdinand von Miller II. Shaw posed for this sculpture shortly before his death.
