How about adding Our Lady of the most Blessed Sacrament on Elmwood Ave and Saint Josephs on Treamont ave to your list odf Esat orange Churches .
ReplyDeleteSince the blog covers East Orange primarily from 1863 to 1963, I've been relying on vintage postcards for the images. If you have a source for vintage (early 20th century) photos of those two churches, please let me know.
DeleteI was so hoping to see the Incarnation Episcopal Church on, I believe, N. Maple Avenue.
ReplyDeleteThat church is not there (the lot is vacant) on a 1911 map, so I'm not sure what year it was built. It might not be an early 20th century church.
DeleteI have updated the blog post with info about that church, built in the 1920's.
DeleteIt is heartbreaking to see Christ Church on Main Street abandoned today.
