Back in the end of June, while visiting Chicago, I stopped in a Graceland for a quick visit. Here are a few pics. You can see the other couple dozen here, at Mourning Souls.

Graves

The Kroeschell monument is really interesting. The monument is torn asunder, to echo the way the deceased was torn from this world, and grief that remains. I guess. I saw one with that motif last weekend at Forest Home, but this one is amazingly well done.

The Schoenhofen pyamid.

A jewel of modern architecture, by Louis Sullivan in 1890.

One of the largest monuments in Graceland, this 1907 construction was to honor piano maker William Kimball.
