Abbey Mausoleum, Neoclassical mausoleum in Arlington, United States.
The Abbey Mausoleum was a neoclassical burial chamber in Arlington with granite walls and white Italian marble cladding. The interior contained six tiers of crypts, tall ceilings, and a reinforced concrete roof.
The mausoleum was founded in 1924 by the U.S. Mausoleum Company and served as a significant burial site for military leaders. It remained in operation until financial difficulties led to its closure in 1966.
The building was known for its stained glass windows created by Louis Comfort Tiffany, which were later preserved at another location in Arlington County. These artworks showcased the artistic qualities that characterized the structure.
This location is no longer accessible as the structure was demolished in 2001. Visitors interested in its history can find information through local archives and museums in Arlington.
The property was connected to Marine Corps headquarters during World War II, which brought strict access restrictions. These security measures prevented visits and new burials for many years.
