Mary
E. Wilson Memorial Union Church
Watchung, Somerset County
Rustic stone masonry is the dominant characteristic
of this small chapel rather
than an architectural style, although it leans to
elements of the Episcopal Gothic
in my judgment, particularly in the door
and window treatments. Its full name
is the Mary E. Wilson Memorial Union Chapel,
and it was built by members of
the Washington Valley Sunday School Association
in 1889. If you’re an occasional
visitor to the Watchung traffic circle,
you surely
can’t fail to notice how this
church dominates the northeast approach to
that location.
