A small rustic temple with smooth Doric columns and a cross. All the mausoleums in the South Side Cemetery are bricked up like this; probably they all had bronze doors, and every one has been stolen.

David L. Clark Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
This fine polished-granite mausoleum announces his name to anyone who visits this sheltered corner of the cemetery; but D. L. Clark’s real monument is the Clark Bar, which trumpets his name to anyone who visits a convenience-store cash register. Polished granite was expensive, but a very good choice for Pittsburgh, since the grime of industry could be wiped off with little labor and no damage to the stone.

Chalfant Mausoleum, Allegheny Cemetery
Mr. John Weakly Chalfant died in 1898, but in 1930 his heirs took it into their heads to have the Ecclesiastical Department of Tiffany Studios design this very elegant classical structure, in which he was reinterred. The whole design is clearly meant to show off a Tiffany stained-glass window, but the window was stolen more than thirty years ago.

Lillian Russell Moore Mausoleum, Allegheny Cemetery
Probably the most famous beauty in American history, Lillian Russell married four times. Her fourth marriage was to Alexander Pollock Moore, publisher of the Leader in Pittsburgh, and it seems to have been a happy union. When Lillian died in 1922, her mourning husband put up this mausoleum, with the simple epitaph “The world is better for her having lived.” Mr. Moore later went on to be ambassador to Spain and then to Peru, but when he finally joined his wife, she still got top billing. His initials on the door are the only external indication that Mr. Moore is buried here, too.
