Free Quaker Meetinghouse
Free Quaker Meetinghouse, Quaker church building at 5th and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, United States.
The Free Quaker Meetinghouse stands as a two-and-a-half-story brick structure with a gable roof constructed in the architectural style of the late 18th century.
The building, erected in 1783, served as a gathering place for Quakers who supported the American Revolution, contrary to the main Quaker organization's pacifist stance.
This meetinghouse represents the intersection of religious practice and civic engagement, as members balanced their faith with active participation in the Revolutionary War.
The National Park Service maintains this historical structure within Independence National Historical Park, offering interpretive programs about early American religious life.
In 1961, engineers relocated the entire meetinghouse structure thirty feet from its original position to accommodate the expansion of Fifth Street.
