A generously sized Doric mausoleum with an inset porch. Perry O. Laughner was buried here in 1926, so he probably had this mausoleum built for himself while he was still alive.

J. W. Porter Column, Sewickley Cemetery
A splendid Corinthian column with a…hat. James W. Porter died in 1901, so we may take that as about the date of this monument.

Barrett Mausoleum, Sewickley Cemetery
A classic Doric mausoleum, as correct as it can be. The hillside site gives it an opportunity for a stairway approach, which always adds to the impressiveness of a classical mausoleum.

Joseph W. Craig Mausoleum, Sewickley Cemetery
An unusual classical design from 1899 that depends on textures for its effect: the rusticated but very regular stone contrasts pleasingly with the green tile of the roof and the smooth-cut doorway. The green color of the tile almost perfectly matches the verdigris of the bronze doors; one wonders whether that effect was intended or a happy accident.

Soffel Mausoleum, Mount Lebanon Cemetery
A rustic mausoleum with smooth Doric columns; doubtless a dealer’s standard model, but attractive and dignified.
