The Linwood Mausoleum is a massive limestone structure in Linwood Cemetery, Paragould, Arkansas. Occupying the highest ground in the cemetery, it is a rectangular single-story Classical Revival limestone structure, with stained-glass windows. Its interior walls are finished with gray-veined white marble. The entry is sheltered by a portico with Doric columns. The mausoleum houses 170 crypts. Built in 1920 by a group of private citizens, it was later conveyed to the city, and is (as of 2007) Arkansas' only known city-owned mausoleum. It is also architecturally distinctive in the region for its heavy limestone construction and Classical Revival features.^[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.^[1]
