Orthodox Friends Meeting House
at Spring Meadow, Pa.

Harry Pontius of Burke, Va. passes along this photo that was
given to him by Fred Ickes of Fishertown, Pa. (Isn't the internet
great?)
A note from Fred Ickes (on the back
of the photo) indicates that this photo shows the log construction
of the "Society of Friends Dunnings Creek Orthodox Meeting
House at Spring Meadow, Pa., as it appeared around 1900. Built
about 1832 and abandoned in 1883 when a new Meetinghouse
was built in Fishertown, Pa. Around 1908, John Reynolds, owner of the
farm where the Fish Hatchery is located, bought the old Meetinghouse
and made it into a dwelling for his summer home. It burned down
in the early 1960's. It was on the hill North of the Cemetery.
This is not of the original Meetinghouse built about 1795 to 1797."
