Wilmington Friends Meetinghouse, Fourth & West Streets, Wilmington, New Castle County, DE

Significance: Early Wilmington's population as predominantly Quaker. On the highest piece of ground they built their meeting house and settled around it in an area of the city now known as Quaker Hill. The Quakers were among the most prominent families in Wilmington and their meeting house was one of the most important religious structures in the city. The present meeting house is an excellent example of the type of structure built by the Quakers for worship in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. They stressed high quality workmanship and simplicity of detail.
