Woodlawn Cemetery: Max Broock Mausoleum--Detroit MI

Max Broock was a real estate developer in early 20th Century Detroit. He is responsible for naming the tony Arden Park subdivision just off Woodward Avenue; he was also involved in developing the Boston-Edison neighborhood. The Arden name was supposedly inspired by the Forest of Arden mentioned in Shakespeare's "As You Like It." The Max Broock realty firm continues to this day, having been in business for more than 100 years.

 

This mausoleum is in the Roman Revival style with fluted Ionic columns. The entablature and pediment are practically unornamented.
