FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, Nassau St., is a Greek Revival structure with columns in antis, flanked by rectangular unembellished walls. Built in 1835, the church is the third on the site. Before erection of the first building in 1766, the congregation attended chapel services conducted by presidents of the college, who were then Presbyterian ministers. During the Revolution the original structure suffered at the hands of both the British and Colonial troops. From 1766 to 1896 college commencements were held in the successive churches.
