The Blackwell Mausoleum was built in 1905. According to the cemetery history website:
(visit link)

Thomas Blackwell was a major investor and businessman who owned several of the buildings around 3rd and Douglas. He built the cemetery's only vaulted tomb, which was finished in 1906.

My notes:
The Blackwell Mausoleum is located on the first east entrance off Third Street. Further north, almost to the bend, is where Cole Younger is buried.
