The Carrie Eliza Getty Tomb, located in Graceland Cemetery in Chicago, Illinois, United States, was commissioned in 1890 by the lumber baron Henry Harrison Getty for his wife. It was designed by the noted American architect Louis Sullivan of the firm Adler & Sullivan. Getty became familiar with Sullivan's work from the architect's various Loop projects as well as from the mausoleum Sullivan designed for Getty's late partner, Martin Ryerson.
