French Mausoleum, Allegheny Cemetery

Robert Pitcairn Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
Robert Pitcairn, for whom the borough of Pitcairn is named, was head of the Pittsburgh Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Eaton-Brown-Fleming Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
A lavish Doric temple, a miniature Parthenon or (even closer) Temple of Hephaestus, this mausoleum manages to convey the two often-conflicting messages “I had good taste” and “I was rich.”
