   Photographic Inventory

original Eldora Methodist Episcopal Church
Eldora, Cape May County

The Methodist congregation in Eldora was organized in 1860 and built their first church in the same year. This is a simple meetinghouse with little adornment, and not dissimilar from a county schoolhouse or residence. It can be found across the road from the larger, more stylish church that replaced it in 1883, just off Route 550
