Biographical / Historical
Opened in 1822 by the wardens of Christ Church. The remains of Protestants in St. Louis No. 1 were removed here. The Girod Street Cemetery did not bar slaves from purchasing tombs, and the cemetery contained a number of tombs owned by slave benevolent societies. The cemetery was demolished in 1957; the remains of whites were reinterred in Hope Mausoleum; African-Americans were removed to Providence Memorial Park.
