The meetinghouse and its associated cemetery are significant for their role in the Quaker community in this area of Virginia in the mid to late 19th century.

Both halves are wood frame, one story, gable roofed structures.

The rectangular building faces east, with two entrances on the long side of the rectangle.

Union soldiers occupied the building during the American Civil War, and carved their names and initials to the right of what was then the only entryway.
