History and architectural features

In 1686, there were sufficient number of Friends in Radnor township to begin meetings at the house of John Jerman, a Quaker minister.[2]

The current meeting house was built in 1717 with an addition made several years later. An earlier meeting house existed on the site as early as 1693.[3] During the Revolutionary War, the meeting house was used as an outpost for General George Washington's Continental Army.[4]

The meeting house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
