Initially a twenty-acre rural graveyard, Amarillo Cemetery was laid out with a grid plan on this site in the 1890s. In 1921 the name was changed to Llano Cemetery. The Gothic Revival Llano Pantheon Mausoleum (1929) was designed by Lowell and Lowell of Chicago with Joseph Champ Berry as project supervisor. A further extension of the cemetery in 1933, financed by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and the Civilian Conservation Corps, laid it out in a more picturesque manner, with meandering paths, gentle hillocks, and an irregularly shaped lagoon. To complement the landscaping, Guy A. Carlander designed an administration building in 1932, a superintendent’s cottage, and a pump house. Although sometimes described as rustic, Carlander’s administration building exceeds such a simple interpretation. The undulating bands of pink sandstone and red brick suggest a familiarity with European Expressionism of c. 1920. It is one of the most remarkable creations of Carlander’s inventive mind. The interior reception hall employs terrazzo floors, carvings of wheat, and a mural above the fireplace by Margaret Seewald Roberts.
