The OES visited Huntington Chapel on April
23, 2004. This is the main mausoleum and chapel located in the state's
second-largest cemetery, Green Lawn Cemetery
in Columbus. This beautiful building was designed in classic Roman style by
famed Columbus architect Frank L. Packard. The chapel was dedicated on November
11, 1902 with an awesome rotunda of fitted mosaic tile and carved plaster.
Tiffany's of New York was commissioned to design and install the two grand
stained glass windows and two mosaic murals representing truth and wisdom. The
total cost of the building was $24,827. The chapel/mausoleum was later expanded to its
current capacity. This building serves as
the final resting place of about 100-200 people, including former Ohio Governor
James A. Rhodes. The chapel/mausoleum was in excellent condition during our visit. The architecture inside and out along with the beautiful artwork is
breathtaking to say the least. While there is no reported hauntings at the
mausoleum that we know of, we were able to capture a few EVPs, along with our
affiliates at COPS. You may visit the chapel/mausoleum from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday
through Friday and 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Saturday. The building is available
for services, weddings, meetings and special events as well. Stop by the Green
Lawn Cemetery office to make a reservation.
