Baum Monument

This photo is an odd back view of the Baum family Monument. The angle obscures both the family name and the walkway from the road up to the monument. Indifiduval names with death dates are carved on the open pages of a stone book which is protected by an orb-topped coupla. The Doric columns are thematically supported by the cupola's frieze of triglyphs and metopes. Burials are actually in an underground chamber, entry to which is down a flight of stairs under the middle section of the walkway.
