Colora Meetinghouse, Quaker meeting house in Colora, Maryland, US
The Colora Meetinghouse features 18-inch-thick stuccoed fieldstone walls, a slate roof, and separate entrances designated for men and women attendees.
Built in 1841 during the 'great separation' period, this Orthodox Friends meeting house was originally named Nottingham Preparative Meeting before joining Western Quarterly Meeting.
The meetinghouse maintains Quaker traditions through its interior sliding divider, which separates men and women during business meetings according to historical practices.
The building opens once yearly for worship services, scheduled at 2:00 PM on the third Sunday of September, welcoming visitors interested in Quaker heritage.
The property includes both a cemetery and an 1869 two-story structure that functioned as a Friends schoolhouse until public education began in 1890.
