   Photographic Inventory

Pilesgrove Presbyterian Church
Pittsgrove Towsnhip, Salem County

Organized in 1741, this eclectic church was erected by the congregation in 1864 to replace a fine brick Georgian meetinghouse that lies within sight of this one. The round arch windows are Romanesque, the tower, Italianate, the steeple borrows from Wren-Gibbs.
