Carrie Eliza Getty Tomb
Carrie Eliza Getty Tomb, Limestone mausoleum in Graceland Cemetery, Chicago, United States.
The rectangular tomb features octagonal patterns, spiraling cornices, and a patinated bronze gate under a broad semi-circular archway entrance.
Lumber merchant Henry Harrison Getty commissioned architect Louis Sullivan to design this memorial for his wife Carrie in 1890.
The tomb demonstrates the early architectural elements of the Chicago School movement through its geometric patterns and limestone construction.
Located in the northern section of Graceland Cemetery, the tomb contains the remains of Henry, Carrie, and their daughter Alice Getty.
A plaster cast of the tomb's intricate bronze door earned recognition at the 1900 Paris Exhibition for its geometric and floral designs.
