From the pamphlet, “A Self-Guided Walking Tour of the Ottumwa Cemetery”

In 1887, a receiving vault of “of such ornamental and substantial character as to be a credit to the community” was erected. The receiving vault, built of deep red brick and terra cotta panels in a High Victorian Gothic design, was needed because the severe Iowa winters would often prevent the digging of graves for several months. This receiving vault is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
