Friends Meetinghouse
Friends Meetinghouse, Quaker meeting house in Mount Pleasant, United States.
The Friends Meetinghouse features thick stone walls rising 12 feet high and encompasses an area of approximately 30 by 51 feet for religious gatherings.
Built in 1814, this structure holds distinction as the first Quaker yearly meeting house constructed west of the Allegheny Mountains in the United States.
The building played a central role in the abolitionist movement, with the surrounding area containing five documented stations of the Underground Railroad network.
The Ohio Historical Society maintains ownership of the meetinghouse while the Mount Pleasant Historical Society manages regular operations and community events.
Minister Jacob Ong, who served as the carpenter during construction, delivered messages about love and compassion within these historic walls.
