Green Lawn Abbey, built in 1927, is an historic mausoleum located at 700 Greenlawn Avenue in Columbus, Ohio.

On June 27, 2007, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Magician Howard Thurston, known as "Thurston the Great", is entombed in the Green Lawn Abbey, [{http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=5194 Find A Grave] ] which has been the center of debate regarding financial responsibility of privately funded burial locations. In 2001, Trustees for Green Lawn Abby considered selling its already reduced grounds to a nearby construction implement dealer that would have surrounded the building with a dealer lot for back hoes and heavy equipment. The plan failed, but concerns are ongoing, especially by fans of Thurston.
