  • Edward H. Jennings Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery

    Edward H. Jennings Mausoleum

    A large Doric mausoleum whose size is not immediately obvious until we consider the full-sized bronze doors.

    You can learn more about Edward H. Jennings, Successful American, at our earlier article on the Edward H. Jennings mausoleum.


  • Porter Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery

    Porter mausoleum

    A little bit of Deco Gothic fantasy whose bronze doors are worth admiring.

  • Bald Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery

    A strikingly dignified Art Deco mausoleum that adapts the setbacks of Deco skyscrapers to the classical formality of a cemetery environment.

    We have more pictures of the Bald mausoleum in an earlier article.


  • Clark Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery

    Clark mausoleum

    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.
