A view of the Warren Cemetery on Kearsarge Avenue and the rear and side of the Winthrop Street Methodist Episcopal Church on Winthrop Street in Roxbury, Massachusetts. After a fire in 1868, the First Church of Roxbury built this church on Winthrop Street, which was dedicated in 1869. The Boston Latin School petitioned that the city turn over the cemetery, variously called the Warren Cemetery, Kearsarge Burying-Ground, and Kearsarge Burial Ground, to it for use as a playground in 1890, which the City Council approved later that year. A number of headstones stand on the left-hand side of a grassy area that leads up to the rear of the Church. The Roxbury Latin School can be glimpsed on the far right of the image. Neighborhood homes can be seen over a fence on the left of the image.
