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.
