The Merion Friends Meeting House is located in the village of Merion Station, a neighborhood in
Lower Merion Township, on the north side of Montgomery Avenue and Haverford Avenue. It is a 1-1/2-story structure, built out of locally quarried stone covered in plaster. It is laid out in a T shape, and is covered by a cross-gabled roof. Its main facade is three bays wide, with a center entrance sheltered by a gabled porch. The flanking windows, as well as that in the gable above are topped by segmented-arch lintels. The front gable and both side gables have pent roof sections. The principal rafters supporting the roof are bent, a unique adaptation of a medieval Welsh construction technique to the building. The property also includes a burial ground, estimated to have more than 2,000 burials (many of which are unmarked in accordance with early Quaker custom). Merion Friends Meeting remains an active Quaker worship community. ==See also==
