Odd Fellows Cemetery (Philadelphia)

Odd Fellows Cemetery was a historic cemetery at 24th and Diamond Streets in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, established in 1849.[1] The gatehouse was designed by architect Stephen Decatur Button.
It included the grave of author George Lippard.[1]
The cemetery property was acquired by the Philadelphia Housing Authority in 1950 for construction of a housing project. The bodies that had been interred there were relocated to two other cemeteries owned by the Odd Fellows: Mount Peace Cemetery and Lawnview Cemetery.[1] The Lippard grave was moved to Lawnview Cemetery in Rockledge, Pennsylvania in 1951.[2]
