Point Mountain Mausoleum is an abandoned mausoleum at the top of Point Mountain in Hancock, New York, overlooking the Delaware River and neighboring Pennsylvania. It was built as the memorial and final resting spot of Dr. Lester E. Woolsey (1872–1962) in the 1940s. Woolsey was a longtime Delaware County coroner who had practiced medicine in Hancock since 1901. Woolsey was buried there only a few years, but the structure could not be properly protected, and all the bodies that were entombed there were removed. Dr. Woolsey's remains were removed to Old Colonial Mausoleum, Union Dale, Pennsylvania.


A mausoleum is an external free-standing building constructed as a monument enclosing the burial chamber of a deceased person or people. A mausoleum without the person's remains is called a cenotaph. A mausoleum may be considered a type of tomb, or the tomb may be considered to be within the mausoleum.

"Artists train themselves to really look at the world around them. And they don't see through everybody else's frame of reference. They discover their own unique vantage point and then express what they've seen in creative ways." ~Candy Paull Welcome to JAMART ~ Jennifer and Melissa's ART To find out more about us and our art photography visit our website www.JAMARTphotography.com We at JAMART believe in the power of Art, Photography and Words.
