Mennonite Meetinghouse
Mennonite Meetinghouse, Religious gathering place in Germantown, Philadelphia, United States.
The Mennonite Meetinghouse at 6119 Germantown Avenue features traditional 18th-century architectural elements with original wooden benches and a raised pulpit platform.
The current stone structure, built in 1770 by Jacob Knorr, replaced the first log church constructed in 1708 when Mennonite families separated from Quaker services.
The building demonstrates the early establishment of Mennonite communities in North America and their influence on religious architecture during colonial times.
The main room spans 30 by 28 feet and accommodates 150 people, while an additional 11 by 16 feet annex provides space for smaller gatherings.
William Rittenhouse, who served as the first minister of the initial log church, established the foundation for what became the first Mennonite congregation in America.
