II

Quaker Meeting House now private house. 1731 but dated 1733 over entrance.
Painted roughcast walls, under graduated greenslate roof with painted roughcast
chimney stack. Single storey, three bays. Off-centre gabled stone porch with plain
boarded door in painted stone surround. Sash windows with glazing bars in
painted stone surrounds, the centre window a larger casement; some surrounds
retain their shutter hinge brackets. INTERIOR: has its original panelled
partition.

See D. Butler, Quaker Meeting Houses of the Lake Counties (1978),
pp. 90-3, where he says the Meeting House was first used 3 February 1731 and
suggests the porch was added two years later and hence the date over the
entrance. Rear outshut is not of interest.
