Klicker Family Plot, Union Dale Cemetery

Stumps are common in cemeteries; logs less so, but not rare. This symmetrical arrangement of stumps and logs is unique in Pittsburgh, as far as old Pa Pitt knows.

McCutcheon Mausoleum, Union Dale Cemetery

For their mausoleum, the McCutcheons chose a remarkably tasteful miniature Gothic church, dated 1881 over the stone doors on both sides.

Walker Mausoleum, Union Dale Cemetery

William H. Walker (1841-1904) had his portrait rendered in stained glass for the back of his mausoleum, which is the sort of thing you can do if you have the money to put up a large Ionic mausoleum like this one.

Robert Carson Mausoleum, Union Dale Cemetery

Robert Carson mausoleum

A sturdy-looking Doric mausoleum built in 1895. It looks even sturdier because the entrance, where there were probably once bronze doors, has been filled in with concrete.
