Bech Mausoleum
Item
Description
The Bech mausoleum was designed by Detlef Lienau after the death of Edward and Elizabeth Bech's older son. There is some question whether Lienau wa the architect, but the papers donated to the Marist Archives clearly indicate Lienau was the architect; he had done a mausoleum earlier for one of his NYC clients.
The mausoleum occupies a grand site in the older section of the cemetery {section L}, with an impressive view of the Hudson River. Inside are two stone crypts for Edward and Elizabeth, but several others are buried there.
