Calvary Episcopal Church (Summit, New Jersey)

In 1854 when the church began, Summit, New Jersey, was a summer retreat for New York City residents.

[1] One of those residents was The Reverend Thomas Cook, assistant at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church, New York.

It built a stone church at the corner of Springfield Avenue and Beechwood Road.

Under the direction of a new rector, the Reverend Walker Gwynne, the parish purchased land for the present building, at the corner of Woodland and DeForest Avenues.

Completed in 1896, the present building, of granite with trimmings of Ohio and Indiana limestone, seats 700.
