155 YEAR OLD CHURCH IN DOWNTOWN LAKEWOOD CHANGES HANDS IN $4.1 MILLION SALE


The First Presbyterian Christian church, which has been iconically standing on 3rd Street in Downtown Lakewood for the past 155 years, has just changed hands in a $4,150,000 sale, FAA News has learned.


The purchaser is Mark Tress of Lakewood Study Square Inc.



This church is one of Lakewood's first Christian congregations, having gotten started in 1868 after the Civil War, back when Lakewood (then known as Bricksburg) was a rural town known for iron production.


The current building was completed in 1884 and it has been standing there ever since.


Lakewood's first Orthodox Jewish community was organized in the early 1900's. Congregation Sons of Israel, (now known as The Old Shul) at Ridge Avenue and 4th Street, built in 1908, is the first known shul in the Township, according to the Lakewood Historical Society archives.


Lakewood Study Square Inc.'s mortgage is being financed by Unity Bank.


No future site plans have yet been submitted to the Township.

If he’s paying that kind of price for this relatively small property, then he must have some BIG plans with it. I hope our infrastructure doesn’t have to suffer too much so he can make lots of money.

Right now it barely generates any traffic…
