Lakeside Cemetery Administration Office

Built in approximately 1875, the office was constructed as a trolley and train station for what was then called the Buffalo Rural Cemetery. The primary function of the station – which contains a mourning room in its tower – was to receive bodies shipped by train from Buffalo for the cemetery, along with families of the decedents.

Constructed of local fieldstone, the station is built in a vaguely Richardson Romanesque style, with arched doors and windows, and stone pillars that support bracketed eaves. There are also two stone fireplaces inside, constructed of yellow Roman brick with egg and dart terra cotta molding.[1]
