The Oakwood Cemetery Mausoleum is a cemetery structure located in the Oakwood Cemetery in Saline, Michigan. The mausoleum was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
During the original platting of Saline, land that is now Oakwood Cemetery was set aside for use as a burial ground.[2] In 1913, J.W. Flowers of Toledo, Ohio purchased this land at the Oakwood Cemetery to construct a mausoleum. In 1914, the Board of Trustees for Oakwood Cemetery agreed to design and build the mausoleum, while Flowers would sell the interior chambers.[3] The Board of Trustees contracted with the Washtenaw Mausoleum Company for this building, which was constructed by the O.J. McBride Company. The building was completed in 1915.[2]
