Location: Mount Pleasant Cemetery

Stained or painted glass windows may not be the first type of ornamentation that comes to mind when thinking about cemeteries but they are a fairly common feature in mausoleums. If you're brave (or brazen) enough to walk right up and peer through the doors, you might just be rewarded with some colour and light. Mount Pleasant Cemetery has several beautiful examples, which provides just one more reason to visit this National Historic Site. This particular window adorns the private Eaton family mausoleum which serves as the resting place of successful early Toronto merchant Timothy Eaton and 17 members of his family.
