Description

CCNY Architecture Travel Fellows; The site where Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 now stands was once the site of the Livaudais Plantation, which was divided into squares in 1832. Before the land became a city cemetery, these two graves marked the final resting places of slaves who worked on the Livaudais Plantation. Today they remain unmarked, but were not torn down when Lafayette No. 1 became a cemetery for whites.
