A small mausoleum or vault, modern with a hint of Art Deco in the decorations. The bronze doors are particularly good, with angular decorations that remind old Pa Pitt of German Jugendstil.

Burnett Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
-
Louis A. Behr Mausoleum, West View Cemetery
Art Deco details make a composition that is at once simple and rich. Note how the bronze doors echo the vertical lines of the stone.
-
Hirth Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
A tasteful application of Art Deco details to the standard cubical mausoleum of the early twentieth century.
-
Lockhart Cross, Homewood Cemetery
A simplified Celtic cross with more than a whiff of Art Deco; it was probably put up in the 1930s, since the earliest Lockhart here died in 1936. The cemetery’s site attributes the monument to the Campell-Horigan company of Pittsburgh.
-
Dreyfuss–Benswanger Monument, West View Cemetery
A particularly fine example of Art Deco as applied to cemetery monuments. It may date from 1931; that seems to be the earliest of several Dreyfuss burials marked by separate stones in front of the monument.
