#FromtheArchives Oxford Colonial Methodist Church
While going through the picture archives, we found a photograph of the original Oxford Colonial Methodist Church, formerly located on Church Street. In its place now is the CenturyLink building.
The original church was built in 1867 and cost about $900. In 1882, a second structure was built (including a spire) and cost over $10,000. The church then purchased the old grist mill next to the Furnace and repurposed it as a church, which was dedicated in 1913.
According to the deed, the old mill was purchased from the Empire Steel & Iron Co. by the Trustees of Oxford Methodist Episcopal Church on 22 May 1912 by the Trustees of Oxford Methodist Episcopal Church. (Doc 2943, page 407)
“Being the lands and premises commonly known as the Old Mill Property at Oxford Furnace, Warren County, New Jersey.”
