The Trinity Church Cemetery in the Hamilton Heights neighborhood of Upper Manhattan is located between West 153rd Street and West 155th Street and between Riverside Drive and Amsterdam Avenue, with Broadway passing through it between. The land was originally part of John James Audubon's estate. The cemetery was opened in 1842 when Trinity Church ran out of space in the cemetery at 74 Trinity Place. The grounds were designed by architect James Renwick Jr., and included the Chapel of the Intercession, now a separate church in its own right. (Source: [1])
