This is one of the Cemetery's few modern works in the Egyptian style, here executed in white granite. The immaculate pale material and the rather smug expressions of the sphinxes draw any feeling of menace from a style the Victorians had used to express the utmost solemnity. Emil Winter was president of the Workingmen's Savings Bank and Trust Company and head of numerous other companies having to do with metal production. He had a large plant in Austria for processing magnesite ore, financed the Harsgirg process for producing magnesium from the ore, and introduced the Ottobriede process for seamless steel tubing into the United States. He was one of those who formed the Pittsburgh Steel Co., whose plant was at Monessen. His mortal home, "Lyndhurst" on Beechwood Boulevard in the Squirrel Hill part of Pittsburgh, was as grand in its way as the tomb is, having been built first for William Thaw and greatly remodeled for Winter.
