Lafayette Cemetery No. 1, New Orleans, LA.
Shaded by groves of lush greenery, this #cemetery exudes a strong sense of #Southern subtropical #gothic. Built in 1833, it is divided by two intersecting footpaths that form a cross. Look out for the crypts built by fraternal organizations such as the Jefferson Fire Company No 22, which took care of their members and their families in large shared #tombs. Some of the wealthier family tombs were built of marble, with elaborate details, but most were constructed simply of inexpensive plastered brick
