Darby Meeting, Quaker meeting house in Darby, Pennsylvania, US.
The Darby Meeting House features coursed fieldstone walls, stuccoed gables, brick fireplaces, and separate entrances for men and women at 1017 Main Street.
Founded in 1682, the Darby Meeting initially gathered in John Blunston's residence before constructing the current building in 1805, which served during both Revolutionary and 1812 wars.
The building represents traditional Quaker values through its plain architecture, featuring wooden posts, pine furniture, and oak flooring without decorative elements.
The Darby Meeting holds worship services at 11:00 AM on the first Sunday of each month, with John Child serving as the current clerk.
Records indicate that 51 members of the Darby Meeting participated in the Underground Railroad network as stationmasters, conductors, or stockholders.
