Description
William Kimball (1828-1904) was a manufacturer of pianos.
Kimball's monument is one of the largest in Graceland. Across the rear are four Corinthian columns, with two more on the sides. The structure is without a roof. Below, an angel kneels, watching over the two graves beneath the floor. The entire monument is of white marble, and was erected in 1907 from a design by the architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White.
Much of the original detail has eroded away, most noticeably the face of the angel. On bright days, this monument is more brilliant than any other.
