A Doric mausoleum with rusticated stone: a very common sort of design, but very dignified, and much more picturesque when we add autumn leaves. The stained glass inside is a standard design from the catalogue.

H. P. Sloterbeck Mausoleum, Allegheny Cemetery
-
Brooks Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
A typical Doric cube of the early twentieth century. The stained glass is rather good. Charles A. Brooks was interred here in 1906, and Anna Cloyde Woodward Brooks in 1931; according to cemetery records, they are the only residents.
-
Weil Mausoleum, West View Cemetery
A simple Doric design whose severity is moderated by a Greek-key decoration.
-
Theo Huckestein Mausoleum, St. Mary’s Cemetery, Ross Township
Presumably “Theo” is an abbreviation for Theodore, though it could also be Theobald or Theophilus. This is a standard rusticated Doric mausoleum with a good Sacred Heart window.
-
Frank-Klee Mausoleum, West View Cemetery
A simple Doric mausoleum with extra space for a large family. The stained glass inside is very good, except that (in Father Pitt’s opinion) the wreath-and-swag decoration rather spoils the effect of the naturalistic forest and stream.
