Rudolph Schloesser Mausoleum - Chicago, IL - Mausoleums on Waymarking.com

This mausoleum is located in Graceland Cemetery. Other than the name engraved at the top "RUDOLPH SCHLOESSER" there is no information here.
Unfortunately, the Wikipedia article (visit link) which lists the many prominent people buried in Graceland does not have a Schloesser listed.
The cemetery's website (visit link) also draws attention to some of it's more prominent burials...but no Schloesser.

However, this website (visit link) has information about a person who is probably the son of Rudolph Schloesser and informs us that :
"...Rudolph Schloesser, built one of the first pretentious office buildings in Chicago after the great conflagration in 1871. The building was known as the Schloesser Block. The elder Schloesser was a successful banker and real estate operator in Chicago for many years. He was one of the most prominent pioneers of Chicago, an associate of Potter Palmer, Marshall Field and Pullman." That article also details how the family came from an aristocratic background in Germany.
