This ornate monument is believed to have been designed by noted Cleveland architect, Levi T. Scofield as his family burial place. (Note that he preferred the European spelling of his name for his family's vault.)

Scofield (1842-1917) is best remembered for designed the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument at Public Square in downtown Cleveland.

The Schofield Vault is just one of many ornate stone vaults and mausoleums at Lake View Cemetery.
