Add PhotosSaint Luke's Episcopal Church was also known as Saint Luke's Protestant Episcopal Church.
Its congregation moved to a new building in Harlem (435 West 141st Street, New York, NY 10031) in 1891.
The church building still stands, and it is the home of a separate congregation known as the Church of Saint Luke in the Fields.

Cemetery disposition: Inactive. Burials removed.
Years of use: Primarily 1821 — 1851 (with a few burials in existing vaults through the 1880s, in violation of city ordinance).

The site is no longer a cemetery, although many of the empty vaults remain under the sod of the churchyard.
By 1891, all of the burials had been removed to other cemeteries in the greater New York City region, including Trinity Church Cemetery in upper Manhattan, Mount Hope Cemetery in Westchester County and Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx.
The former burial ground is presently the site of the Gardens at Saint Luke in the Fields.
