Other information
English: photo by David C. Burns. The vault is one of the Cemetery's oldest structures, constructed in 1847 by Joseph Wuichet, who was Dayton's "premier" Stonemason during that time. It is constructed of giant limestone slabs. The purpose of the Receiving Vault was to temporarily and securely house the remains of those who could not be immediately buried. The capacity at that time was 16 caskets (caskets being much smaller at that time). The main reason for storage in the vault was due to cold or severe weather.
