YAH @ the Couch Mausoleum - Chicago, IL - 'You Are Here' Maps on Waymarking.com

This You Are Here sign is on the reverse side of a historical marker in Chicago's Lincoln Park. The reverse of the sign reads:

"HIDDEN TRUTHS

This stone vault is the oldest structure
standing within the Chicago Fire zone.
It was erected in 1858 for Ira Couch, a wealthy
hotelier who died at age 50 while
wintering in Cuba. Though some theories
exist, there is no official answer as to
why this tomb was left behind on the site
of the Chicago City Cemetery. Varying
accounts of the number entombed suggest
7 to 13, or merely Ira alone.
