Williams Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
An Egyptian tomb extraordinary for its restraint: with none of the slightly cartoony Egyptian accoutrements that generally mark the style, it seems to return to the simplicity of the mid-nineteenth-century Egyptian Revival (compare, for example, the Walter mausoleum in the Allegheny Cemetery). The sloping sides, the projecting curves of the cornice and lintel, and the trapezoidal door frame are the elements that mark it as Egyptian.

Gilchrist Stump, Homewood Cemetery
This may be the biggest rustic stump in Pittsburgh. It has the naturalistic shape and details usual in these monuments, with the addition of a fancy monogram for each dead Gilchrist on the stump of each sawed-off branch.
