Built from 1905 to 1907, the McKinley National Memorial became the final resting place of President McKinley, his wife Ida, and their two young daughters. Built entirely from private donations organized by the McKinley National Memorial Association, it remains privately owned and operated by the McKinley Presidential Library & Museum. The association selected architect Harold Van Buren Magonigle’s design and hired Harrison Granite Company of New York to erect the monument and the Gorham Manufacturing Company of New York and Rhode Island to fabricate the bronze work. The monument is a double-dome construction with interior and exterior walls separated by a space, and with outer and inner domes also separated by an access space. Its brick foundation walls, made of more than 2,000,000 bricks produced in Stark County, are set 15 feet deep on a double-ringed wall of concrete. Construction was a national and international effort, with materials from nine states arriving in Canton by rail and then reaching the site by horse-drawn wagon. Ohio supplied the concrete, all of the brick, and much of the labor force; Massachusetts provided pink Milford granite for the exterior; the interior marble walls, the statue pedestal, and part of the marble floor came from the Grey Eagle quarries in Knoxville, Tennessee; Vermont provided green granite for the double sarcophagus; black granite for its base and granite floor tiles came from Berlin, Wisconsin; artisans in Illinois made the original plain glass skylight, while the current skylight was produced in Canton; and all bronze work, including the large entrance doors, was cast in Rhode Island. Workers came from many nationalities and races, and one account tells of African Americans traveling from the southeastern United States to Canton seeking employment out of deep admiration for President McKinley. The monument was completed in time for its dedication on September 30, 1907, when its newly planted grounds already gave the impression of a long-established park.
