Plymouth Friends Meetinghouse
Plymouth Friends Meetinghouse, Quaker meetinghouse in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, United States.
The limestone meetinghouse stands at the intersection of Germantown Pike and Butler Pike, featuring a symmetrical Colonial design with an added wing from 1780.
General George Washington's troops utilized the meetinghouse as a temporary military hospital during the American Revolutionary War before the Battle of Barren Hill in 1778.
The building serves as a center for Quaker worship and community gatherings, maintaining traditions established by the Religious Society of Friends since 1708.
The Plymouth Meeting Friends School operates on the same property, providing educational services while preserving the historical connection to its Quaker foundations.
The meetinghouse cemetery contains the grave of Thomas Hovenden, a 19th-century artist who created paintings depicting the Underground Railroad activities in the area.
