...building is located in the rear of the University Museum, facing north. It is rectangular in shape, 40 feet wide by 72 feet in length. The general appearance of the structure is in keeping with the older Harvard buildings and the colonial type of architecture has been followed out in the exterior design.

A limestone cornice adds the necessary finish to the front of the building. The structure is three stories high, with a basement all but three...
...accordance with Mr. Busch's desire, the Museum has been made essentially German in character, the plans being drawn by Professor Bestelmeyer, of Dresden, one of Germany's foremost architects.

The space between the two wings is conceived of as an ornamental court, with shrubs, statuary, and waterbasins, connected with the Museum itself by cloister-like arcades running along Kirkland...
...grave was brick-lined, and roofed over with wooden logs or slabs of white limestone. Later on was erected around the grave a low wall of dried red brick, which contrasted vividly with the yellow sand of the desert. In its final form the mastaba consisted of a great rectangular stone structure with sloping sides. In its centre was a deep shaft into which was lowered the corpse, and then the hole was filled in with sand and debris. A second chamber, isolated in the wall of the mastaba, contained statues of the decreased, and here was supposed to well...
