A curious combination of the Egyptian and the Romanesque. The doorway and sloping sides suggest the Egyptian style; the botanical ornaments and rusticated stone suggest Romanesque. Inside is a stained-glass window with symbols of Christian victory.

Armstrong Mausoleum, Allegheny Cemetery

McCluen Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
A rusticated temple in the Modern Ionic style, notable for its fine stained glass. The painting in the face and lilies has faded, but we can still imagine how it must have looked when it was fresh.
-
Stimmel Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
Yet another silent-movie-set Egyptian temple, but this one unexpectedly delights us with a stained-glass window that looks like a poster for the movie.
-
Black Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
Most notable for its exceptionally fine stained glass, this mausoleum, which at first looks like a standard-issue miniature classical temple, is also one of the few in Pittsburgh with columns of the Composite order.
-
Ward Mausoleum, Allegheny Cemetery
The Ward mausoleum is tasteful but undistinguished on the outside. Inside, however, is an exceptionally fine stained-glass window. “Faith, Hope, and Charity. The greatest of these is Charity.”
