National Historic Landmark-Old Quaker Meeting House

National Historical Landmark-Old Quaker Meeting House

Only surviving example in New York of a typical 17th-century ecclesiastical frame building. Proportions and framing system are prime examples of the survival of medieval techniques.

Used continuously as a meeting house since 1696, except for a period of use as a prison and hospital by the British during the Revolution.
