It is a large, Flemish bond brick, Federal-style Quaker Meeting House built in 1817.

The meetinghouse is on two acres deeded by James Brooke in the 1750s, for the use of the Quaker Meeting.

[2] In the mid-1900s a community house was built adjacent, "where first day school" classes and "young friends" meet.

The weekly meeting (congregation) was also essential in the formation of Sandy Spring Friends School, and Friends House (an assisted living community), both built nearby on Norwood Road.
