  • Armstrong Monument, South Side Cemetery

    Armstrong monument

    A moderately Art Deco interpretation of Gothic. In his brief visit, Father Pitt was not able to find any dated Armstrong headstones nearby, but the style would probably date this monument to the 1920s or 1930s.

  • Armstrong and Stewart Monument, Allegheny Cemetery

    Armstrong and Stewart Monument

    A miniature Doric temple with “Christ is risen” in blackletter (with quotation marks) to Christianize it. There are inscriptions for death dates back to 1865, but from the style Father Pitt would date this monument much later—perhaps 1914, which is the earliest date after the 1860s.
