The building was originally a school, and after WW I, the Episcopal church set up missionaries to preach religion to "country people". In 1917 the Bishop of the Diocese of Camden sent a reverend on horseback there to preach, and in 1925 when the building was abandoned the diocese bought it from the Washington Township School Board for $100 and a sign went up in front saying "St. Andrews Chapel".
The original location was up the road a bit, not far from where it stands today. The listed coordinates for the original location of the waymark are a close approximation.
