First Baptist Church of Medford
Medford, Burlington County

The L-shaped building was apparently popularized by the Methodists, but other denominations quickly adopted it, as we can see in this trim Baptist church, erected in 1892-94. It replaced an earlier church that had been built in 1841. The congregation was organized in 1841 as a daughter church of the baptist church in Evesham Township.
