When this Meeting House was built, it was typical of Friends Meeting Houses of the time in that it was divided across the middle by a partition creating two equal rooms, one for men and one for women. Each room had its own entrance door. Apparently the west door was originally a window, and a door was located where the west window is now. Part of the dividing partition could be removed so joint meetings of men and women could be held.
