The Tacoma Mausoleum is a mausoleum in Tacoma, Washington. Built in 1910, the mausoleum was the first such structure to be built in the United States west of the Mississippi River.[2] In 1918, the mausoleum was sued by David Rea and his wife, who claimed that the existence of a mausoleum near homes constituted a nuisance. They were suing in an attempt to prevent the already built mausoleum from adding further structures on its premises, but the Washington Supreme Court ruled against them.[3] The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
