The Greek Revival style frame church was constructed in 1855 on land donated by Quaker Alexander Cooper.  Originally, the structure housed a Methodist Episcopal church on the upper level and a co-ed public school at the lower level.  Originally built in the small community of Glendale, the structure survives as the oldest public school in Camden County, one of the few historic buildings in modern Voorhees, and the only property in Voorhees Township listed in the National Register of Historic Places.  In 1920, the building ceased to be used as a school, but the lower level continued to be used for community functions. The site is a small oasis in an area of intense commercial development, at a busy intersection. 

The Trust grant will help fund the stabilization of the structure to allow greater load capacity for the church and recreate the church’s 1930s appearance by reconstructing the front porch, replacing the wood clapboards and repairing windows.
