Port Dover Mausoleum

When we visited Port Dover this year, we drove through the town west on highway 6, and came across a unique structure. We didn't see it at first heading west because it is over grown with trees and bushes, but heading east back into town, it was clearly visible. It stands on the north side of the highway, and the first thing we noticed were the four columns at its entrance.
The bulding is in fact a mausoleum that was built by the Port Dover Cemetery Board in 1927. However, the cost of $225 to $275 per crypt seemed too expensive for any to be willing to pay, and so it was never used and remained vacant.
In 2008, a science fiction movie entitled 'Six Reasons Why' and starring Canadian actor Colm Feore shot three scenes there. The mausoleum is in bad need of repair, with concrete slabs falling off of the front of the building. I looked through the front door, but it looks like it is being used now to store workmen's tools, possibly from the neighbouring cemetery.
It is worth a look while it still is partially intact, but because of its present state, it is hard to say if it will deteriorate to the point where it is torn down. It is an interesting and unusual piece of history for the town of Port Dover.
