A standard-issue Romanesque mausoleum, though unusually deep in proportion to its width; but irresistibly picturesque in the last golden rays of evening sun.

Koegler Mausoleum, South Side Cemetery
-
Bratt Mausoleum, Union Dale Cemetery
An unusual sort of mausoleum in Pittsburgh, though the usual sort in New Orleans: the crypts are accessed directly from the outside. Dr. Bratt and two very young sons are buried here; curiously, there seems to be room for their mother, but no inscription indicates that she is here.

Friday Mausoleum, Calvary Cemetery
Doric in its details and very Christian in its symbolism, but the overall shape of this mausoleum is similar to that of many of the Egyptian mausoleums that were popular at the same time. The entrance is flanked by statues of Hope and Faith. [Update: The pictures Father Pitt took in 2014 went down with the image host where they were stored, but were later recovered; meanwhile we added some pictures from 2022. More pictures are at our more recent article.]

Michael F. Maloney Mausoleum, Calvary Cemetery
A particularly fine miniature basilica with a dome and a cross.

Mike Mannella Mausoleum, Calvary Cemetery
This exceptionally extravagant mausoleum, probably the grandest (certainly the tallest) in Calvary Cemetery, is a sort of late-Art-Deco interpretation of Gothic architecture. The door is beautiful, and small reliefs near the top document what must have been an eventful life in Pittsburgh business.
