Add PhotosThe Bethlehem German Reformed Congregation was organized on October 8th, 1852, in Phoenix Hall in Kensington, Philadelphia, with many members from the nearby Salem congregation. The congregation purchased a parcel of land for a burial ground on the outskirts of the neighborhood.
As that section of Philadelphia was developed, the burial ground became surrounded by housing and factories, and by the end of the 19th century, it was hemmed in at the end of the dead-end Bethlehem Street, which was renamed Helen Street in 1897. After 1910, the ground was finally sold for development, and in 1915 developer George Edel built row housing on the site.
No trace of the former burial ground remains.
