The Beacon Street Tomb is a historic receiving tomb in the Lakeside Cemetery of Wakefield, Massachusetts. It is a single story Greek Revival structure built of ashlar granite. On its south elevation, which faces Beacon Street, there are four Doric columns supporting a pedimented gable with a louvered oculus window. There are no windows, and a double-leaf door on the southern elevation. The structure was used to store caskets during the winter months when burial was impossible due to frozen ground.[2]
The tomb was built in 1858 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
