Columbarium. This has been identified as the new columbarium attached to the Oakwood Cemetery & Funeral Home in Tacoma. With the increase in cremations, an additional columbarium was built in 1923 to supplement the original small one. The niches, stacked one on top of another, were encased in glass where urns and other mementos could be clearly viewed. A few bits of furniture were placed for those who wished to rest while paying their respects. The building is still in use nearly ninety years after this August, 1924, photograph was taken. The furniture, however, has changed. G26.1-123 (Additional information provided by a reader) TPL-10527
