Heurich Mausoleum, Neo-Gothic mausoleum in Rock Creek Cemetery, United States.

The Heurich Mausoleum features four winged caryatids at each corner with distinct hairstyles and hands clasped, touching the structure's roof with closed eyes.

Built in 1895, this mausoleum was initially situated at the Heurich dairy farm in Prince George's County before its relocation to Rock Creek Cemetery in 1951.

The interior wall displays a German inscription translating to 'In Deep Pain, There is no Worldly Wisdom for the Heart', reflecting the period's memorial traditions.

The mausoleum stands at the intersection of Webster Street and Rock Creek Church Road NW, within the 86-acre grounds of Rock Creek Cemetery.

A Tiffany stained glass window adorns the rear of the structure, depicting an angel holding a scroll with the word 'Peace' inscribed upon it.

Location: Washington, D.C.

Inception: 1890s

Creator: Louis Amateis
