   Photographic Inventory

old Pittsgrove Baptist Church
Pittsgrove Township, Salem County

Organized in 1771 and built in 1844. It is a simple meeting house, with little ornamentation. The tall windows are clear, testifying to the early date and to the avoidance of "wordly" or "popish" styles. The interior is also very plain, but imposing in its austerity. It is immaculately maintained.
