1 photograph: glass negative; 4 x 5 in.
Description
Glass negative showing the side facade of the Radnor Meeting House, a one-story stone building with two covered entryways. A low stone wall extends to the right and other smaller buildings are visible to the left. The Radnor Meeting began in 1684 in the house of Quaker minister John Jerman. The Meeting House was built in two sections, the first in 1717 and the second in 1722 on land owned by Jerman. He transferred ownership to the Meeting in 1735. The Meeting House was used as a hospital for the Continental Army in 1778. Due to dwindling numbers, the meeting closed in 1882, but was reopened in 1937.
