A standard classical mausoleum of the 1920s or so (the earliest burial was in 1930). Father Pitt’s favorite detail is the giant acorns where we usually find urns for flowers.

Rowe-Huston Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
A good example of how subtle variations differentiate classical Doric mausoleums. Here we have the standard Doric columns, fluted, in front of a rusticated stone mausoleum. It probably dates from about 1900.

Wherry Monument, Homewood Cemetery
A fine piece of sculpture, although in mourners there is a very fine line between contemplative and bored. The steps up to the family plot bear the name of James Wherry, who died in 1899, and from the style that seems like a good date for this monument.

Weber Angel, Homewood Cemetery
A flower-strewing angel steps forward from a rustic boulder. The first Weber was buried in this plot in 1887, and that may be about the date of this monument.
