The interior is constructed of Italian and Egyptian marble. It is the most expensive mausoleum in the cemetery.

The balcony contains an elegant sarcophagus with the remains of Mrs. Josiah Letchworth. The crypts and urns of Letchworth and other family members, totaling 32 in 2001, are located in basement crypts. There is an elegant marble stairway leading to the basement.
