    KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA

    A simple little Doric temple with an exceptionally fine stained-glass window.


  • Porter Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery

  • Heinz Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery

    OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

    This magnificent Roman temple holds more dead people than any other mausoleum in the Homewood Cemetery, with an extensive basement accessible by a removable section of mosaic floor. (How’s that for a scene in a Gothic novel?) H. J. Heinz, the pickle and ketchup king, and generations of his descendants are buried here, including his great-grandson Senator John Heinz.

    Addendum: The architects of the mausoleum were Vrydaugh & Wolfe, who also designed Warwick House for Howard Heinz.


  • Ward-Hindman-White Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery

    An elegant Renaissance octagon reminiscent of the McCune mausoleum in the Allegheny Cemetery.
