This is the Pitcairn for whom the borough of Pitcairn is named, a bigwig in the Pennsylvania Railroad. He built himself a large and tasteful Corinthian mausoleum to rest in. Next to it is a spectacular Ginkgo biloba in full autumn splendor.

Robert Pitcairn Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery

Morris Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
This small Doric mausoleum bears a fine life-size sculpture with an ungrammatical inscription that always irritates old Pa Pitt every time he sees it.
-
Taylor-Langfitt Mausoleum, Highwood Cemetery
A small classical mausoleum in very good taste; the Boston ivy is always a picturesque touch, but especially in the fall. The name “Taylor” was added to the pediment later.
-
Walker Mausoleum, Union Dale Cemetery
William H. Walker (1841-1904) had his portrait rendered in stained glass for the back of his mausoleum, which is the sort of thing you can do if you have the money to put up a large Ionic mausoleum like this one.

Robert Carson Mausoleum, Union Dale Cemetery
A sturdy-looking Doric mausoleum built in 1895. It looks even sturdier because the entrance, where there were probably once bronze doors, has been filled in with concrete.
