History and description
[edit]The meetinghouse is a two-story building constructed using red brick and featuring Federal architecture. On August 15, 1799, Samuel Mickle sold 1.5 acres (0.61 ha) to the Quakers for one dollar. The meetinghouse was completed later that year. An annex was built in 1919. The meetinghouse was renovated in Colonial Revival style by architect Vincent Kling in 1942.[3]
