Vintage photographs

Although the website was created to make available contemporary photographs, there are too many interesting churches that have disappeared—except on old albumen prints or in engravings made for pre-1900 books and magazines. We solicit such images from our readers and will reproduce at least one every month, along with such historical information as we can find about these vanished churches.
     If you would like to see an image in your possession on this site, we are pleased to receive your own scans, or you may send us the photograph and we will create a high resolution scan and return the image to you with a copy of the scan and out thanks! If you have a number of such vintage images, we may be able to bring our scanner to your site.

Methodist Episcopal church
Troy Hills, Morris County

   

I have no information about this frame building except that it was a Methodist church in Troy Hills. Judging from the windows and the device in the upper part of the gable, it was probably built after 1880.
