History and description

The Medford Lakes Development Corporation was created in 1926, with construction of the summer resort community of log cabins starting in 1927. According to the nomination form, Mancill Gager, the pioneer builder of log cabins in the resort, likely built the church, which features rustic architecture. It was a mision of the Sacred Heart Church of Mount Holly. In 1969, it was purchased by the Protestant Community Church of Medford Lakes and renamed Memorial Hall. ^[3]
