Woodlawn Cemetery: William Hannan Mausoleum (Color Version)--Detroit MI

The Hannan Mausoleum uses a simplified version of Egyptian Revival architecture, the flat-roofed mastaba. The walls of the building slope slightly away from top to bottom (the architectural term for this is a battered wall).

 

Mr. Hannan was a prominent real estate developer and has the Hannan House on Woodward Avenue and the Hannan Memorial YMCA on East Jefferson named after him.
