Physically bursting at the seams and on its last legs, the building was financially impractical to renovate. Even if

128-468: A market house was built on part of the graveyard property; the market was a predecessor to today's North Market , located adjacent to the site. Clearing of the original portion, the John Kerr tract, took place from November to December 2, 1881.

160-483: A slow rate. In 1856, city residents petitioned the city council to prevent further interments in the graveyard. The city responded by passing a bill that year banning any graveyard burials within the city boundaries of the time and in the North Graveyard, though it was repealed about a month later. The area was annexed into the city in 1862, further increasing expectations for the graveyard's closure or removal. In 1864,

At its greatest extent, the cemetery had 11 acres. The northern limit of

320-514: The 1864 prohibition on burials ended lot owners' "right of easement".

544-516: The costly and extensive repairs were made, the Market would still be housed in a cramped Quonset hut, rather than a light, clean, functional marketplace. The NMDA spearheaded a capital campaign to finance building renovations. The market's new home would be 60 percent larger than the Quonset hut with room for new merchants. After raising $ 5 million, the NMDA began construction in January 1995. In November 1995,

A thorough job was made in removals, but it was impossible for workers at the time to find every grave on the site. An estimated 2,000 to 3,000 graves were moved from the 1850s to the 1880s. An 1885 city council resolution instructed

672-470: The graveyard. In 1868, the Union Depot Company was formed.

704-524: The graveyard. Green Lawn Cemetery opened in the following year, summer 1849.
