Frankford Friends Meeting House, Quaker meeting house in Frankford, Philadelphia, United States
The Frankford Friends Meeting House combines Flemish-bond brick with glazed headers and locally quarried rubble stone in its construction elements.
Built in 1775-1776 during the American Revolution, this building stands as the oldest surviving meeting house within Philadelphia's city limits.
The building design includes separate spaces for men and women, reflecting the traditional Quaker practice of gender-specific worship and business meetings.
The building functions both as an active Quaker worship space and a community center at the intersection of Unity and Waln Streets.
The meeting underwent multiple name changes from Tacony to Oxford to Frankford, and finally to Unity to differentiate it from nearby congregations.
