THE ASBURY METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

About 1807 the congregation being of such importance necessitated the building of a church for the growing society. The first class was probably formed at the house of Mrs. Childs, under the hill below what is now known as the Cliff House. Mr. Wm. Requa offered a plot of ground on the corner of Maine street and Windel Park which was accepted, and a society was incorporated to build a church on this spot.
