Clark Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
The dark honey-colored stone of this Ionic mausoleum makes it different from the majority of gleaming white classical mausoleums in the cemetery, and more like a natural part of the landscape. Otherwise there is nothing extraordinary about it: it is a gentleman’s mausoleum, and a gentleman would not dress ostentatiously.
We also have some summer pictures of the Clark mausoleum.

Riter Mausoleum, Homewood 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.
