Officially named the William Henry Miller Mausoleum but locally referred to as the Marbles, this extraordinary structure stands out like a sore thumb next to a bowling green and among perfectly ordinary suburban bungalows. It commemorates William Henry Miller (1789-1848) and his family, and it was designed by David Rhind.
