Thanks, Brian. I am saddened to hear that vandals would hit such a place,
but glad that steps were taken to preserve the site.

The 'dome' of Lowell's mausoleum is dark blue stained glass.
About 20 years ago it was vandalized with the effect that one or
two of the tiles were broken. At the time there were several
artists renting workshop space on Mars Hill, one of whom was
(and still is) an expert stained-glass artist. She got the right
kind fo glass to replace the broken tiles. But the aging metal
framework for the stained glass was also starting to allow rain/snow
to leak onto Uncle Percy underneath. So it was decided to have made
the frame to go over it (hard plastic or something like lucite)
to help protect it from the elements as well as vandals.
