P. Collett.","why_significant":"The nomination presents it as a precursor of the twentieth-century Second Egyptian Revival and a rare style example. It is described as the only known example of this style in the Greenville area and as a significant contribution to the town's architecture.","narrative":"Greenville Mausoleum sits on the east edge of Greenville Cemetery, facing west, with its rear entrance toward West Street. Built of smooth limestone over concrete, it follows a basilican plan with pylons at each end and a low gabled tile roof with clerestory windows. The central entrance has a stone porch with gray polished marble columns, an inscribed entablature, and a doorway dated 1912 with a vulture and sun disc relief. Bronze doors with Tiffany-type glass and lotus-motif windows add detail. Inside are 400 concrete crypts with marble seals, family crypts in the pavilions, and a marble floor. A plaque credits Dr. J. P. Collett as promoter and builder, and the building was dedicated in 1913. It was listed as an early example of Second Egyptian Revival design and the only known one in the Greenville area. The nomination notes vandalism to the art glass, a deteriorating roof, and limited maintenance funds.","period_of_significance":"1900- (specific date: dedicated 1913)","architect_builder":"Dr. J. P.
