    1869 Centerville Methodist Episcopal, Readington NJ. Centerville was the midpoint on the old stagecoach route from Philadelphia to New York, and this church is just up the hill from the old stagecoach inn.  As such, it became the mother church for several other congregations, but with the coming of the railroad (and the automobile) Centerville fell into decline, and the Methodists left in 1980. Now a community center.
    1834 Weertsville New School (German) Baptist, East Amwell Twp NJ. In 1936 folklorist Henry Charlton Beck found the church serving as a chicken coop; sometime after that it became a residence, thence a store, now back to a residence. A small cemetery abuts to the rear.
    1871 First Evangelical Lutheran of Clarksville, Glen Gardner NJ. When the cornerstone was laid the town was called Clarksville; by the time this building was finished in 1874 the name had become Glen Gardner. After a century the congregation faded away - this has been a non-profit Youth Center since 1971.
