Notes
  • Significance: Although constructed almost thirty years after the ca. 1827 separation, the Race Street Friends Meeting House is a tangible reminder of the controversy caused by differing interpretations of Quaker doctrine in the early nineteenth century. The decision to begin construction on the Race Street Friends Meeting House was made in 1855 in response to a request by the women's meeting for safer, more comfortable, and more spacious quarters. The building was complete by 1857. In it the Hicksites held their Philadelphia Yearly Meetings and there was room for both the men's and the women's meetings for business. Race Street was the site of the Hicksite Philadelphia Yearly Meeting between 1857 and 1955.
