Elkin Mausoleum

The Oakland Cemetery Association recently conducted a major restoration of the iconic Elkin Mausoleum that has been an important symbol of Indiana, PA since its original construction in 1915. Shortly after the death of Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice John Pratt Elkin, the building was constructed by the Colwell Granite Company of Pittsburgh. Although the Elkin Mausoleum was originally built for descendants of the Elkin family, by the early 1960s the Elkin family had dispersed and the building was donated to the cemetery association. It has remained the landmark it was in 1916.
