Description: Picture of a stone face keystone on the arched doorway of a building in the Sauer Buildings Historic District in Aspinwall, Pennsylvania, on May 16, 2010. The building was designed and built by Frederick C. Sauer around 1930. On page 436 of Franklin Toker's book, Pittsburgh: A New Portrait (2009), it says, "Sauer's usual materials were irregularly coursed stone and yellow brick, to which he added hundreds of strange inserts: lopsided keystones, turkeys and eagles, lions and Roman gods, roundels of Benjamin Franklin. All contribute to the whimsical nature of this miniaturized village." This is part of the Sauer Buildings Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
