A restrained classical mausoleum of the flat-roofed Doric variety that became popular in the twentieth century. Louis C. Sands was buried here in 1922, so that is the latest possible date for this mausoleum.

David E. Weir Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
A typical middle-twentieth-century classical mausoleum. The flat roof, which became the norm in Doric mausoleums, seems to be a concession to modernism. David Weir was buried here in 1948.

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