[1] During the original platting of Saline, land that is now Oakwood Cemetery was set aside for use as a burial ground.

Flowers of Toledo, Ohio purchased this land at the Oakwood Cemetery to construct a mausoleum.

In 1914, the Board of Trustees for Oakwood Cemetery agreed to design and build the mausoleum, while Flowers would sell the interior chambers.

The main facades are terraced, and it has a red tiled monitor roof containing small rectangular windows.

The main facade contains small stained glass windows and metal doors, with the inscription "In Hope" carved in a sandstone block above.
