A brief history of the meeting:

The first meeting of the Society of Friends near Haverford, Pennsylvania, of which there is record, was held in April 1684. Meetinghouses were soon built in Merion, Haverford near Oakmont, and Radnor at Ithan, where meetings for worship were held in turn.
In 1827 a group of seventy Friends began to meet in a tenant house on Samuel Garrigues' farm, but this proved to be too small after the opening of Haverford College in 1833.
The present meetinghouse on Buck Lane was built in 1834 where the first meeting was held on November 23 of that year. Meeting has been held regularly in this meetinghouse since then.
The meetinghouse was enlarged in 1894 and the Forum Room wing was added in 1904.
