There are approximately 1,400 churches, synagogues and meetinghouses in New Jersey that were built before 1900. Greenagel has been photographing and researching them for 9 years, and is in the process of publishing a complete, county by county inventory of all the surviving 18th and 19th century churches in the state. Hunterdon, Morris, Somerset, Sussex, and Warren Counties have been completed as of 12-31-2007.
