Notes
  • Significance: Upper Providence Meeting House, built in 1828, reflects the early single-cell meeting house form, including the use of the rear carriage or mounting door that had long fallen out of use. The resurgence of old building types or building elements suggest that the evolution of meeting house design does not always follow a linear, chronological progression, and that old traditions are not easily forgotten. Upper Providence Meeting House also exhibits unusual, regionally identifying features such as tiered benches positioned in-the-round, stoves for heat, a vaulted ceiling, and a generally high level of integrity with regard to its interior finishes.
