The Art and Architecture of Death

Stained-glass menorah in the Weil mausoleum

A simplified Doric mausoleum in the style of the early to middle twentieth century. The stained-glass menorah is doubtless a standard catalogue item, but it is well executed.

A very simple mausoleum whose visual interest comes mostly from the rusticated blocks, and their contrast with the finished doorframe.

A simple Doric design whose severity is moderated by a Greek-key decoration.
