   Photographic Inventory

First Presbyterian Church
Rockaway, Morris County

   
This is an exceptionally fine brick church, listed on the National Register, that was built in 1832. In its basic outline, it is a scaled-down version of the Presbyterian church in Newark, but with a Gothic spire atop the tower and a neo-classical window directly over the center door. The congregation was organized in 1758. The grounds include a huge cemetery to the rear.
