The largest cemetery complex in West Virginia, the district occupies a series of tree-shaded, landscaped hills overlooking central Charleston. Its most distinctive structure is the Spring Hill Mausoleum, a stone-faced reinforced concrete building constructed in 1910.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, it represents a significant repository of the state's political and civic history.
