Description
The Presbyterian Church at Bound Brook stands on Mountain Avenue, combining Tudor Revival and Gothic Revival elements in its architecture. The building displays characteristics typical of both styles through its walls, windows, and roof structure.

The congregation traces its origins to the 18th century, with Reverend Israel Read serving as the first pastor from 1750 to 1793. The current building was designed by architect Oscar Teale in 1896.
Culture
The stained glass windows created by Tiffany fill the interior with colored light and serve as works of art within the sacred space. These pieces reflect the congregation's commitment to beauty as part of worship.
Practical
The church is accessible on weekday mornings and early afternoons, with limited hours on Sundays and no access on Saturdays. Visitors should confirm opening hours before arriving, as schedules may vary seasonally.
