Old Cathedral Cemetery (1816-1887) In 1814 the trustees of St. Peter's pro-Cathedral (1770-1841) acquired six acres of land in the city for use as a burial ground for the Catholics of Baltimore. The cemetery was opened two years later and eventually was comprised of 13 acres that was divided into approximately 1800 lots. The boundaries of the cemetery were Riggs Avenue (formerly Tenant Street) on the south, Winchester Street on the north, Fremont Street on the east, and Whatcoat Street (formerly Calhoun Street) on the west. By the 1860s it had become apparent that the cemetery would run out of space. In 1869 land was purchased at the junction of Old Frederick Road and Edmondson Avenue for the site of a new cemetery. First known as Bonnie Brae (beautiful slope), it is now known as New Cathedral Cemetery and is comprised of 100 acres.
