Porst SP Sunnyside Mausoleum 4
Constructed in 1922, the somewhat obscure Sunnyside Mausoleum is a stunning architectural fantasyland of Spanish Renaissance art glass, sculpted marble and historic tilework — and it features one of California's 18 Foucault pendulums. Sunnyside was inspired in part by the Royal Pantheon beneath the Basilica at El Escorial in Spain. It is a strange and highly decorative place, its halls lined with elaborate stone niches and a "library" of book-shaped crematory urns. The memorial chapel's stained-glass windows depict California history, and the statue hall contains busts of Charlemagne, St. Augustine, Dante, Milton, Thomas Jefferson and Ralph Waldo Emerson, among other notables.
