  • Lockhart Cross, Homewood Cemetery

    Lockhart cross

    A simplified Celtic cross with more than a whiff of Art Deco; it was probably put up in the 1930s, since the earliest Lockhart here died in 1936. The cemetery’s site attributes the monument to the Campell-Horigan company of Pittsburgh.

  • Thomas L. West Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery

    Thomas L. West mausoleum

    A tiny Gothic mausoleum for one, or at the most two. It suggests “Gothic” with a shallow point at the top of the façade, with a kind of streamlined suggestion of buttresses, and with deco-uncial lettering for the name of the deceased.

  • Kress Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery

    Kress mausoleum

    Almost starkly modern in form, the Kress mausoleum balances its simple cubical shape with a profusion of ornamental etching, an elaborate bronze door, and unusually artistic letters for the family name.

    Stained glass

    Stained glass on the inside echoes the external ornament. There are stained-glass windows on the sides as well as in the rear.
