The Art and Architecture of Death
A very simple mausoleum whose visual interest comes mostly from the rusticated blocks, and their contrast with the finished doorframe.
Rusticated blocks and Doric columns are a popular combination for good reason: the Doric style is simple enough to go well with rough-cut stone, which adds interest to the otherwise blank side walls.
A simple rustic mausoleum, probably a stock model, immaculately kept, like everything in the West View Cemetery.
A very restrained style of Art Deco makes this a mausoleum that stands out without being ostentatious.
The Byzantine style of this elaborate mausoleum is unusual in Pittsburgh. The complexity of the design makes the structure look larger than it is; it is not a small mausoleum, but it is not as big as it looks at first glance.
