Forest Hill Cemetery (Ann Arbor, Michigan)

Prior to its use as a cemetery, the site was the location of the nation's first fraternity building, a hunting lodge, built by the Chi Psi fraternity in 1849.

Civil engineer James Lewis Glenn designed the cemetery in the rural or garden style popular in the second half of the 19th century. The cemetery's main gate was designed by James Morwick in the Gothic Revival style. Gordon W. Lloyd, a leading architect based in Detroit, Michigan, designed the cemetery's gatehouse and sexton's residence, also in the Gothic Revival style.{{cite web|url=http://foresthillcemeteryaa.org/history/|title=History|website=foresthillcemeteryaa.org|accessdate=12 April 2018}}{{cite web|url=http://www.annarbor.com/news/wystan-stevens-fall-tours-of/|title=The End of an Era: Ann Arbor historian's popular cemetery tours come to a close this fall|publisher=|accessdate=12 April 2018}}{{cite web|url=http://arborwiki.org/index.php?title=Forest_Hill_Cemetery|title=Ann Arbor - LocalWiki|website=arborwiki.org|accessdate=12 April 2018}}
