Early in the years of the Civil War, the Milnor and Stephens families provided the land and paid for the building of All Saints’ Memorial Church in Navesink, then called Riceville. They chose the architectural firm of Richard Upjohn. Upjohn was well known for his English Gothic Revival church designs and was the architect of Trinity Church, Wall Street. The church building was consecrated in 1864 and was followed by the construction of the parish house, barn and carriage sheds, all of which stand today. All Saints’ Memorial Church was officially designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1988 and is considered a prime example of 19th century ecclesiastical design.
