The historic Green Lawn Abbey, built in 1927, is located at 700 Greenlawn Avenue in Franklin Township, near Columbus, Ohio.

Finished with 1.5-inch (38 mm) thick granite on the exterior, white marble on the interior and an imported tile roof, the Abbey was built to inspire awe.

Marble faux-fireplaces, over 100 stained glass windows and various religious statues adorn this beautiful final resting place of many notable figures in Ohio and local history.

Notable residents include George J. Karb (former Franklin County police commissioner and five-time mayor of Columbus), magician Howard Thurston, Charles Foster Johnson (first real estate tycoon in the area), Isaac Collins (founder of Anchor Hocking), Edward and Rollin Swisher (from the company that manufactures Swisher Sweets cigars), and H. R. Penney (brother of J.C. Penney of department store fame).

This group has been leading efforts to restore the Abbey, raise community awareness of its history through special events, and preserve its historical significance to the city of Columbus, with the ultimate goal of reactivating it as a functioning mausoleum.
