Father Pitt does not know the sculptor of this exceptionally fine angel, probably Gabriel waiting for the Conductor’s signal to come in with his trumpet solo. But thanks to a site in Rhode Island, he does know that the memorial was built from blue Westerly granite; that it was ordered in March of 1902, several months before Mr. Daub died; and that the cost was $8000, which was a fair bit of money.

Black Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
Most notable for its exceptionally fine stained glass, this mausoleum, which at first looks like a standard-issue miniature classical temple, is also one of the few in Pittsburgh with columns of the Composite order.

George Baum Family Monument, Homewood Cemetery
A round Doric temple enshrines a book on which are written the names of the deceased.

Robert Pitcairn Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
Robert Pitcairn, for whom the borough of Pitcairn is named, was head of the Pittsburgh Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad. It sounds like a mid-level management position, but in fact it was more like a viceroyalty. This elegant Corinthian temple demonstrates how wealthy such a position could make a man.

Eaton-Brown-Fleming Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
A lavish Doric temple, a miniature Parthenon or (even closer) Temple of Hephaestus, this mausoleum manages to convey the two often-conflicting messages “I had good taste” and “I was rich.”
