The origin of the building began in 1715 when Joseph Cadwalader, a Welshman, bought a large tract of land from David Lloyd and donated a small piece to the Society of Friends for their meeting house and burial ground.

As more people moved into the area and prospered, they replaced the log cabin with the current meeting house, using field stone.

When the American Civil War came 80 years later, the Friends wanted to support the abolition of slavery and again offered their meeting house as a hospital.

Once again dwindling members, this time of the Grange, meant maintenance was an issue, and the building was sold to the Woman's Community Club of Uwchlan in 1963.

The Women's Club put in running water and a heating system, converted the old east porch into a kitchen, and remodeled the west wing.
