grace church cemeteryprovidence, rhode island
Grace Episcopal Church established a nine-acre cemetery between 1834 and 1836, next to Providence's South Side neighborhood at the intersection of Broad Street and Elmwood Avenue. The cemetery became the resting place of mill workers, war veterans, political leaders, and members of the area's many ethnic communities. Today, it holds an important place in the history of Providence and the people who built the city.

In 2008, Martha Lyon Landscape Architecture, LLC prepared a preservation master plan for the historic cemetery. MLLA researched the cemetery's history, created a base map of the property, inventoried and assessed existing conditions, and made recommendations for preserving the cemetery landscape over time. Preservation of the cemetery's main entrance -- the Prow -- was identified as a high priority, and in 2010 the church restored a portion of the entrance landscape, including the grounds of the Gothic Revival style “gatekeeper’s cottage.”
