Front View: Dodge Brothers (Horace and John) Mausoleum. Before launching their own car company, the Dodge Brothers supplied chassis to the Ford Motor Company.
Both brothers died in 1920 (John in January and Horace in December). The mausoleum was built in 1915 by the Lloyd Brothers Company of Toledo, Ohio.

Very impressive. The perfect place to spend eternity. Just as the ancient Egyptians built their tombs on the west bank of the Nile, this cemetary is on the west side of Woodward.

Intriguing and beautiful!!
In fact, the Dodge Bros invented the fully automatic car as we know it. (Ford invented a wind up car lol) Ford and Chrysler have been given credit for a lot of what the Dodge Bros did.
If you are interested the following photo from my antique family album could very well be, and most likely is a childhood photo of John Francis Dodge:

You are pretty much right (I do not know about the automatic aspect though - I always thought the automatic transmission came considerably later). I read a book about the Dodge Brothers. In the early days of the Ford Motor company, the Dodge brothers supplied to Ford almost the entire car, all Ford did was final assembly such as put the body and seats into place. Of course later Ford did produce the entire Model T car at the Highland Park plant. By the time the Rouge plant came on line, Henry Ford had achieved near total vertical integration in the automobile business.

Interesting to compare this mausoleun to the Tate (Bellafontaine-St. Louis), Woolworth (Woodlawn-Bronx) and Winter (Allegheny-Pittsburgh) mausoleums.
