   Photographic Inventory

Saint John's [Episcopal] Church
Elizabeth, Union County

Saint John's was organized in 1706 by a missionary of the Society for Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG). The present building is the third church the site, which sits almost across the street from the earliest church, the First Presbyterian. This Gothic Revival building was erected in 1860 at a cost of $50,000. The interior is a magnificent example of English Gothic architecture.
