Page 8- "The Geist Meeting House, dating from 1850, illustrate the simplicity then advocated by their respective Protestant denominations. Their basic designs barely differ from small rural church designs of the previous century and only the scarce mouldings employed in their construction betray their true date. The Geist Houses, like the Meeting House, illustrate a philosophy of absolute simplicity and utility."
