   Photographic Inventory

Mount Pisgah African Methodist Episcopal Church
Salem, Salem County

Organized in 1800, 16 years before the African Methodist Episcopal Church was drawn up in Philadelphia. This church was begun in 1878 and completed in 1883-84. Note the strong similarity to the Broadway Methodist Church, a mile away in the center of town, erected about 20 years earlier, although this is a little more decorated.
