Here's a shot of the Winter Mausoleum located in Pittsburgh's Allegheny Cemetary, which joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
The structure was built for Pittsburgh buisnessman Emil Winter in 1930 and is said to strongly resemble the one built for F.W. Woolworth in New York's Woodlawn Cemetary in 1920.

On the left is one of the busty sphinxes that guard the entrance to the mausoleum.
Allegheny Cemetary was founded in 1844 and followed the lead of Mount Auburn Cemetary, near Boston, in the rural cemetary movement that focused on nature and the pleasant surroundings of what was then countryside. They were a healthier alternative to overcrowded city churchyards.
Allegheny Cemetary was the sixth in the US and the first west of the Allegheny Mountains to adopt this style.
