Friends' Meeting House

The Friends' Meeting House, now a private house, was built in 1711, as noted by the inscription above the entrance stating "JOHN BARN GAVE 40£ TO BUILD THIS HOUSE." The building features painted roughcast walls and is topped with a rebuilt graduated greenslate roof that includes 20th-century roof lights and a brick chimney stack. It is a single-storey structure with three bays and an integral former stable. The entrance has a 20th-century door set within the original stone surround, and there are 20th-century casement windows in two-light stone-mullioned frames. To the left, there is another 20th-century door. The rear of the building includes a slated 20th-century porch and similar two-light windows. The former stable area has been adapted to include garage doors. For further details, see D.M. Butler's "Quaker Meeting Houses of the Lake Counties," published in 1978, pages 57-60.
