Bald Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery

Clark Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
The dark honey-colored stone of this Ionic mausoleum makes it different from the majority of gleaming white classical mausoleums in the cemetery, and more like a natural part of the landscape. Otherwise there is nothing extraordinary about it: it is a gentleman’s mausoleum, and a gentleman would not dress ostentatiously.
We also have some summer pictures of the Clark mausoleum.

Eaton-Brown-Fleming Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
It took a bit of money to raise an authentic peripteral Doric temple like this. (“Peripteral” means having columns all the way around.)
One sooty corner of the mausoleum also memorializes Pittsburgh’s industrial past.
More pictures are here.
