Sunshine Mausoleum, South Side Cemetery

- Posted in South Side Cemetery by

This mausoleum and its stone mourner are doubtless both standard catalogue items. But they are picturesque, and much more so because of the deep blackness of the stone. Most stone buildings in Pittsburgh used to look like this, but few of them have escaped cleaning.

The other thing that makes the mausoleum stand out, of course, is the delightful name “Sunshine” over the door.
