Alloways Creek Friends Meetinghouse
Alloways Creek Friends Meetinghouse, Quaker meeting house in Lower Alloways Creek Township, United States.
The brick meetinghouse features Flemish bond patterns, wooden benches, and traditional elements that characterize early American colonial religious architecture.
Built in 1756 on land donated by William Hancock, the structure replaced an earlier 1685 meeting house located on the banks of Alloway Creek.
The meetinghouse represents fundamental Quaker principles through its design, emphasizing simplicity, functionality, and the importance of community gatherings.
