Friends of Laurel Hill Cemetery
The Community Design Collaborative lays out scenarios for relocating the historic cemetery’s visitors center from an overcrowded gatehouse to vacant properties across the street. The new center will allow Laurel Hill to add amenities like a café, a chapel, and a larger exhibition space. The study also includes strategies for connecting the center to the larger community and restoring the gatehouse.
