Old Paramus Reformed Church
Ridgewood, Bergen County

The congregation was organized in 1725 and this stone Reformed church erected in 1800, succeeding a previous one erected in 1735. The window surrounds and the front porch are later additions, also similar to those in Dumont and Bergenfield. In scale it is a small church, rather like the English Neighborhood Reformed church in Ridgefield.
