This is a model of the reclining sphinx on the left side of the Egyptian Revival Style mausoleum of Emil Winter in Pittsburgh’s Allegheny Cemetery. The model was created using Agisoft’s Photoscan Pro from 52 18MP images taken on July 19, 2015 using a Canon EOS Rebel T3i and a 18-55mm lens.
The mausoleum was built in 1930 and is a nearly exact duplicate of the one designed by John Russell Pope in 1920 and built for department store mogul F. W. Woolworth in Woodlawn Cemetery in New York.
Emil Winter (1857-1935), was president of the Workingmen’s Savings Bank and Trust Company in Pittsburgh and was also involved in several companies associated with metal production. He was also one of the founders of the Pittsburgh Steel Company.

If you ever have the opportunity to visit Pittsburgh, Allegheny Cemetery is an absolute must see. It is one of the truly magnificent Landscape cemeteries in America.
