Montrose Cemetery is located at 5400 North Pulaski Road, in Chicago, Illinois.[1]
Montrose Cemetery was founded by Andrew Kircher in 1902.[2] Five years after the 1903 Iroquois Theatre fire, Kircher erected a memorial at Montrose Cemetery to memorialize the tragedy.[2]
The cemetery has been dubbed “gypsy row.” due to many Romani Americans being congregated in the area.[3]
