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.

Robert Carson Mausoleum, Union Dale Cemetery

Lang Monument and Family Plot, Union Dale Cemetery
A tasteful Doric monument with a big blank canvas for inscriptions that was never used; instead, George and Caroline Lang have their inscriptions on their own individual resting places. The monument looks as though it may be newer than the graves themselves.

Schreiner Mausoleum, Union Dale Cemetery
A huge and opulent Ionic mausoleum crowned by a cupola on which stands a figure of Hope shaking her fist at heaven. At least that is how it has always looked to old Pa Pitt. The Schreiners must have had quite a lot of money, but they have left few other obvious historical traces of themselves.
-
Reinhold Monument, Smithfield East End Cemetery
A massive and ostentatious pile of classicism, with a curious florid R for the name Reinhold that ought to look out of place but actually harmonizes very well. It is pleasing to note that as late as 1987 the Reinholds had the money and the persistence to procure a stone matching the earlier ones in the plot.

Andrew Jackman Mausoleum, St. Mary’s Cemetery
One of the most elegant Ionic mausoleums in the city, this one is notable for its perfectly balanced classical details and its tastefully ornate bronze doors.
