Fleming Mausoleum, Allegheny Cemetery
Almost certainly modeled after the Temple of Hephaestus in Athens, this is about as archaeologically correct as Doric architecture gets in Pittsburgh. It is one of the few peripteral mausoleum designs you will find in Pittsburgh cemeteries, peripteral meaning that it has columns on all sides.

Riter Mausoleum, Homewodd Cemetery
A large Doric temple near the entrance to the cemetery. It is very much a gentleman’s mausoleum: it is most distinguished by its lack of distinguishing features, concentrating instead on getting every detail of the style perfectly correct.

Clemson Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
A typical Doric mausoleum made exceptional by its picturesque setting on a hill.
