Twelfth Street Meeting House, Quaker meeting house in Philadelphia, US
The Twelfth Street Meeting House stands in brick with Federal architecture style features, incorporating elements from Philadelphia's Greater Meeting House of 1755.
Built between 1812 and 1813 at a cost of $21,410, the structure measured 91 feet in length and served as a stronghold for Orthodox Friends after 1827.
The meeting house functioned as a central location for Quaker worship services, community discussions, and social justice initiatives throughout Philadelphia's development.
William Penn Charter School utilized the building for daily services from 1874 to 1925, before its relocation to George School in Newtown, Pennsylvania.
The building's reconstruction in 1974 preserved original roof trusses while integrating modern utilities, maintaining its historical essence at its new location.
