The Dexter by cdonohoue

The Dexter

I have shared Spring Grove with you in many seasons. Here is the Dexter in the snow. It looks like a chapel - but is in fact the resting place of the Dexter family. He was a Whiskey Baron and made a lot of money and decided he could take it with him. I don't know if you can tell but the lake behind the mausoleum is frozen.
Love this!!

It is quite a lovely building.

I love stories of people who want to be buried with their money, so their spouse writes a check and puts it in the casket.
