South Street Presbyterian Church
Morristown, Morris County
This large Romanesque Revival building now serves as the parish house
after a merger with the First Presbyterian Church; the combined entity
is known as the Presbyterian Church of Morristown. This part of the
congregation was founded in 1841 by a faction that left the First Presbyterian
in a dispute regarded as theological, social and leadership, but which
other sources say was over the issue of slavery.
This
building, erected in 1878, replaced a vaguely Greek Revival building
on the site. The architect was J. Cleveland Cady, who also designed
the First Presbyterian Church 15 years later.
