The lede claims "The Tacoma Mausoleum...was the first such structure in the U.S. to be built west of the Mississippi River." This isn't just inaccurate, it is absurdly false. If the Tacoma Mausoleum was built in 1910, that was 12 years after the Columbarium in San Francisco. But even it isn't the oldest: the Stanford Family Mausoleum, in Palo Alto, California was constructed in 1893, but it's unlikely that even it is the oldest. So, given that the Tacoma Mausoleum's "claim to fame" as "the first such structure in the U.S. to be built west of the Mississippi River" is completely false, is there any justification for this article to exist? Unless someone can make a compelling case, I will propose it be deleted. Bricology (talk) 11:58, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
