   Photographic Inventory

Eldora Methodist Episcopal Church
Eldora, Cape May County

This almost typical Methodist meetinghouse was erected in 1883—almost because the belfry and the tall slender windows are a little more stylist, and the small extension to the rear, although not uncommon, is not widely found in south Jersey. The congregation was organized in 1860 and built their first church in the same year. Both that original church and this one can be found across the road from each other, just off Route 550
