Birmingham Friends Meeting, Historic Quaker meeting house in East Bradford Township, Pennsylvania.
The Birmingham Friends Meetinghouse spans two floors, constructed with local rubble stone and features traditional Quaker architectural elements including wooden benches and divided meeting spaces.
During the Battle of Brandywine in 1777, the meetinghouse served as a hospital for both American forces and British officers, while its stone wall protected American troops.
The meetinghouse maintains Quaker traditions through weekly gatherings at 10 AM, embodying the religious practices that have continued since its establishment in 1763.
The building retains its original design without modern amenities such as electricity, heating, or plumbing, preserving the authentic experience of early American Quaker worship.
The adjacent octagonal schoolhouse, built in 1819, operated until 1905 and stands as a testament to the educational commitment of the early Quaker community.
