Brown Pyramid, Homewood Cemetery


Brown Pyramid

Alden & Harlow, the highest-class high-class architects in Pittsburgh, designed this mausoleum, certainly the most photographed monument in the Homewood Cemetery, for William Harry Brown. It is festooned with Egyptian-style symbols, but the pyramid itself is in the proportions of the Pyramid of Cestius in Rome.
