This is Church of the Lord, more familiarly known as Alpine Community Church, on New Year’s morning 2022. According to the historical marker: “Made of local blue stone, dedicated on August 17, 1871. Resting at the summit of the Palisades… Fishermen, quarrymen, laborers and local business people contributed to its construction. For generations it has been a focal point of Alpine.” Sometimes called the “Christmas church,” it was designed by J. Cleveland Cady, the architect who also designed New York’s old Metropolitan Opera House. The building had been empty and up for sale for quite some time, until it was purchased in January 2020 and given new life by its current congregation. #njchurcheverysunday ⛪️ #njhistory #jerseycollective #njspots #architecture #alpinenj #church (at Alpine Community Church) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYO3cmWr8IX/?utm_medium=tumblr
