Afterglow Vista, Masonic mausoleum in Roche Harbor, United States
The open-air circular structure features six stone chairs arranged in a circle, representing the burial sites of the McMillin family members.
John S. McMillin, founder of the Tacoma and Roche Harbor Lime Company, commissioned this memorial structure in the 1930s for $30,000.
The mausoleum incorporates elements from Masonic traditions, biblical references, and Sigma Chi fraternity symbols throughout its architectural design.
Visitors can reach the mausoleum by taking Afterglow Drive and following a marked woodland trail that extends half a mile from the parking area.
Each chair within the structure has specific inscriptions and corresponds to a column, with an additional broken column symbolizing unfinished work.
