   Photographic Inventory

St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church
South Amboy, Middlesex County

  

This is a very large and quite a stylist church, located on Augusta Street. It was likely built in the 1880s and I suspect that Jeremiah O'Rourke may have been the architect. Its general plan is rather similar to St. Patrick's in Jersey City which was also designed by O'Rourke.
