Bourne Mausoleum
Gothic
Massive and imposing, the Bourne Romanesque Revival mausoleum looks like its here to stay. Ornamentation is almost nonexistent except for an oversized keystone worked into the doorway and a few round sandstone caps that look like stone porthole covers. Hallmarks of Romanesque Revival architecture as seen in the Bourne mausoleum are the heavy buttresses and a rounded arch with a deep reveal forming the entry.
