" The

is
located
at

Monument
Drive
NW
,
adjacent

Westlawn
Cemetery
.
It
is
a
large
granite
structure
,
partly
resembling
in its
lines
and
setting
the
Taj
Mahal
of
India
and, to a
lesser
degree
, the
tomb
of
Hadrian
. In the
foreground
is
a
lagoon
,
built
in
four
sections
,
each
one
a
few
feet
higher
than the
one
below
, and
flanked
on
both
sides
by
tree-shaded
walks
. The
building
is
in the
form
of a
large
cylinder
capped
with
two
domes
.
One
dome
,
which
is
fifty
feet
in
diameter
and
seventy-five
feet
high
,
is
known
as the
interior
dome
. The
exterior
dome
is
seventy-five
feet
in
diameter
and
ninety-five
feet
high
.
Less
than
halfway
up
the
steps
is
the
bronze
figure
of
McKinley
,
one
hand
in his
trousers
pocket
, the
other
holding
a
sheaf
of
papers
. The
bodies
of
McKinley
, his
wife
Ida
Saxton
McKinley
, and
two
infant
daughters
rest
within
the
mausoleum
. Here are also
many
McKinley
relics
. The
tomb
is
constantly
decorated
by
wreaths
and
flowers
sent
by
individuals
and
organizations
from
all
over
the
country
. To
honor
McKinley
,
schoolchildren
from
across
the
United
States
donated
money
to
build
the
McKinley
National
Memorial
in
Canton
. The
McKinley
Memorial
Association
,

death
,
helped
raise
the
funds
