Nicholas Wall was a steamboat captain along the Mississippi, Missouri and Illinois Rivers. Later he became involved in the development of the Montana Territory including the gold rush in Montana. The mausoleum is in a rustic Gothic style and the stained glass window is on the back wall. The window is best viewed by looking through the clear glass door of the mausoleum. The photo was taken through the clear glass door and shows the reflection of trees from behind me while I took the photo. The object hanging down in front of the window appears to be an oil lamp.
