The dome of the Lakewood Cemetery Chapel in Minneapolis is covered in glass mosaic, its colored tesserae catching light above the chapel's central space. Lakewood was established in 1871 on the city's southwest edge as a landscaped cemetery, and the chapel reflects the early twentieth-century taste for ornate, monumental architecture in burial grounds. The caption card dates this view to about 1911, though those details are unverified, so the picture is best read as a record of the decorative ambitions of that period.
