A Romanesque cube with an unusual apse in the back. The decorations in relief are particularly fine. The effect would have been better with bronze doors, but bronze doors tend to go missing, and their place has been taken by concrete.

McKeown Mausoleum, Calvary Cemetery

Louis A. Behr Mausoleum, West View Cemetery
Art Deco details make a composition that is at once simple and rich. Note how the bronze doors echo the vertical lines of the stone.
-
Hirth Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
A tasteful application of Art Deco details to the standard cubical mausoleum of the early twentieth century.
-
Thomas L. West Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
A tiny Gothic mausoleum for one, or at the most two. It suggests “Gothic” with a shallow point at the top of the façade, with a kind of streamlined suggestion of buttresses, and with deco-uncial lettering for the name of the deceased.
-
Kress Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
Almost starkly modern in form, the Kress mausoleum balances its simple cubical shape with a profusion of ornamental etching, an elaborate bronze door, and unusually artistic letters for the family name.
Stained glass on the inside echoes the external ornament. There are stained-glass windows on the sides as well as in the rear.
