The Romanesque Revival mausoleum contains 125 interment spaces within its stone walls, featuring detailed architectural elements and decorative craftsmanship throughout the structure.
Richard Morris Hunt designed the mausoleum between 1884 and 1886 during the period when the Vanderbilt family ranked among the wealthiest industrialists in America.
