   Photographic Inventory

First Baptist church
Woodstown, Salem County

Organized in 1811 and built in 1822, although the cornerstone says 1815. The design is surprisingly modern for the period. Note the tall, clear windows, which was the standard for Protestant churches in the decades leading up to the Civil War.
