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.
A rustic mausoleum with smooth Doric columns; doubtless a dealer’s standard model, but attractive and dignified.
This mausoleum seems to have received its first burial in 1927; if Father Pitt were to take a guess, he might say it had been waiting around empty for some time before that. There are none of the quirks of the advancing twentieth century: this is a timeless Doric temple, simple but correct. The stained glass inside is modestly attractive, though the cross is a bit out of place—it does not seem to be a thing that could naturally exist in the landscape. Old Pa Pitt is also not sure why there is a cheese hovering above it. The bronze palms on the doors are also notable.
A sort of Potemkin classical façade is flanked by benches that embrace the family headstones below. To judge by the earliest burial in the plot, this monument was probably put up about 1917.
All right angles and sharp edges (even the urns are square), this is what you do in an age when modern architecture is in fashion, but you don’t quite want to give up on classical style. It received its first burial in 1940, so it was probably built in the 1930s.
