Then & Now: The Jensen Vault (City/Loosley Cemetery)
This vault belonged to John Jensen, who once ran a roadhouse along the old Tempe Road and Maricopa Canal. Originally, the vault had five compartments and was domed in brick. Part of the dome can be seen in the older photo. By the 1940s, the roof had already collapsed, and today it is completely gone.
Jensen’s son Fred was buried here in 1888. John is believed to have been interred after 1912, and his headstone was found and returned to the vault in 1940.
These “then and now” photos show how time reshapes even stone.
