1783 Burlington Meeting House
The first generations of Quaker immigrants adhered to a pattern of meeting established by the English Friends whereby men and women met together for worship in a single room and then separated for gender-specific business meetings, with the women retiring to a separate space. This arrangement required a room large enough for joint meetings and a second room that needed only to accommodate the adult female population. The 1783 meeting house was built in the style of the 1769 Buckingham (Lahaska, Pa.) Friends Meeting House – a symmetrically balanced, two-story, gable-roofed structure three bays deep and six bays across to include a two-cell, doubled arrangement that no longer treated the men’s and women’s sections as two disparate parts, but rather as separate yet identical parts of a whole structure. By the late eighteenth century, men and women began to meet on either side of a partition for worship and business, merely lowering the partition for the latter meetings.
