Monroe Street Cemetery

The Monroe Street Cemetery at 3207 Monroe Street was formally dedicated on November 12, 1841, although there are graves that predate that date. This is the oldest cemetery on the west side of Cleveland and has been cleaned up in the last few years. Especially noteworthy is the gatehouse originally constructed in 1876, and was totally restored in 2014. The last time I was in here was in the fall of 1980 and it was a mess then.

 The water tower of the Dobeckman chemical company looms in the background.
