A curiously eclectic design: rustic stone in a classical shape with medieval columns. The combination is not displeasing, but it does have the look of having been assembled from a children’s toy building set.

Wilhelmina S. Nickel Mausoleum, Smithfield East End Cemetery
KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA A tasteful standard-model classical mausoleum, seen on an atmospherically misty morning. According to cemetery records, Wilhelmina S. Nickel was buried a few days after she died in 1928, so the mausoleum was probably put up for her while she was still alive.

Snyder Mausoleum, Allegheny Cemetery

C. S. Wheeler Mausoleum, South Side Cemetery
KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA A stock “rustic” mausoleum, looking a bit like something out of The Flintstones. It was probably more impressive with a bronze door, but as a feature of the landscape, it has a certain picturesque charm.
