History and description
The western side of the meetinghouse was built in 1715 and the eastern side in 1785. The two-story building is constructed using red brick, with Flemish bond and glazed brick on the western side. It was used by the Quakers in the Woodbury area, including the Whitall family. During the American Revolutionary War, it was used as a barracks by the British Army and as a hospital after the Battle of Red Bank in 1777.[4]
