Laurel Hill Cemetery, founded in 1836 and located on the Schuylkill River's bank, is a National Historic Landmark noted for its Victorian-era funerary architecture, picturesque landscape design, and significant memorials. The cemetery's layout and monuments exemplify the 19th-century rural cemetery movement, with Gothic Revival and Classical Revival mausoleums, sculptural monuments, and winding carriage roads. It remains an active cemetery and historic site interpreting Philadelphia's social and architectural history.
