Description
Freestanding single-bay single-storey pedimented mausoleum, dated 1912, on a rectangular plan. Pitched (gable-fronted) slate roof, clay ridge tiles with Cross finial to apex, timber bargeboards to gables, and timber eaves boards on "Cyma Recta"- or "Cyma Reversa"-detailed cornice. Grey brick Running bond walls; rendered surface finish (north) on rendered channelled base on submerged rendered chamfered plinth with rendered channelled pilasters to corners supporting "Cyma Recta"- or "Cyma Reversa"-detailed pediment on panelled frieze on "Cavetto" stringcourse. Pair of blind panels centred on square-headed door opening with rendered surround having stepped reveals framing shamrock-detailed cast-iron gate. Set in landscaped grounds.
Appraisal
A mausoleum erected by John Patrick McCabe (d. 1942) of Blackrock contributing positively to the group and setting values of Deans Grange Cemetery with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; the pilastered temple front centred on a restrained doorcase showing shamrock-detailed iron work; and the pedimented roofline.
