A huge and opulent Ionic mausoleum crowned by a cupola on which stands a figure of Hope shaking her fist at heaven. At least that is how it has always looked to old Pa Pitt. The Schreiners must have had quite a lot of money, but they have left few other obvious historical traces of themselves.

Schreiner Mausoleum, Union Dale Cemetery
One of the largest and most elaborate mausoleums in Pittsburgh, this pile of classical Ionic detailing is topped by a statue of Hope shaking her fist at the heavens. The Schreiners must have been a very wealthy family, but they leave very little trace on the Internet, and (rather absurdly) do not even appear in the Union Dale Cemetery’s own list of “Notables.”
