San Francisco Columbarium (Odd Fellows)

The San Francisco Columbarium, built in 1898 for the Odd Fellows Cemetery, is a rare surviving large-scale public columbarium in the United States. The neoclassical building contains thousands of niches, stained glass, and decorative memorials and was restored and reopened to the public after periods of closure. It is noted for its architectural details and its continuity as a repository for cremated remains in the city.
