"The Sky is Falling"

The final resting place of Charles Hayden, noted local banker of Columbus. I've read conflicting reports on this vault, but the consensus seems to be that all Hayden's money went into the design and building of the structure and none was left for perpetual maintenance. I have no idea if this is true or not, but you can actually peek inside the huge doors to see the numerous crypts inside. When you do, you'll also notice that large pieces of the ceiling have deteriorated and fallen to the floor. This vault could definitely use some maintenance inside. It has some awesome stained glass and from pictures I've seen, excellent paintings on the domed ceiling. With the mess I saw on the floor, I don't know how much of that artwork remains.


According to Greenlawn's official website, the Hayden Mausoleum is the largest personal mausoleum on the property.
