Frank Greenagel “Historical Churches of Somerset County”

In this richly illustrated guide to all of the eighteenth and nineteenth century churches and meetinghouses in Somerset County, Frank Greenagel delves into the history of Somerset’s religious buildings.  He has been working for almost nine years, trying to assemble a complete photographic and interpretive inventory of the roughly 1400 such buildings in New Jersey that still survive.  He has photographed more than 1200 churches, synagogues and meetinghouses, and written 6 books.  Frank tries to place the architectural style, scale, location and construction in an economic and cultural context so that the reader may gain an understanding of why the churches look the way they do, and why they are located where they are.  Not surprisingly, the reasons differ widely from county to county.  And Somerset’s history is among the most fascinating! http://www.njchurchscape.com/
