   Photographic Inventory

Mt. Olive Presbyterian Church
Mt. Olive Township, Morris County

  

The congregation was organized in 1768, the same year as the local Baptist church, and the two congregations jointly erected a meetinghouse, which they shared until the 1850s, when each build its own building a few yards apart. There are only a few churches in the state with a full Greek portico—a Congregational church in Chester, Presbyterian churches in Basking Ridge, Allentown, and Mays Landing, and Trinity-St. Phillips in Newark.

This now serves as a private residence.
