  • John Daub Monument, Homewood Cemetery

    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.


  • Kelley Monument, Union Dale Cemetery

    A particularly fine mourner, black with sooty Pittsburgh history, strewing flowers over the grave.


  • 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.


  • Ingles Monument, Union Dale Cemetery

    James Ingles, born in Scotland, died here in 1863. This is a fine example of Civil-War-era Gothic style.
