'''St. John's Cemetery''' is a ten-block, 26-acre cemetery in [[west Pensacola]], bounded by [[L Street]] to the west, [[G Street]] to the east, [[La Rua Street]] to the north, and [[Wright Street]] to the south. The cemetery was created by a Masonic Order in [[1876]] to fill the needs of Pensacola's growing population, which was previously serviced only by [[St. Michael's Cemetery]] to the east.
