Sanfilippo mausoleum
Above the door:
C. SANFILIPPO
1927
There is a cross on the roof above the door and 2 empty stone planters flanking the steps. From the door, you can see a stained glass window of St. Francis at the back and that a ceiling panel is missing. There is room for 6 internments, 3 on each side. The top 2 crypts on the left and the middle one on the right appear to be empty. There are photos but no inscriptions on the bottom left crypt and the top and bottom crypts on the right. Can't make out the photos from the door well enough to tell the gender of those interred here.
From the dirt on the floor and spider webs, the mausoleum doesn't appear to have been entered recently.
