Summary

Description
English: Germantown Friends Meeting House (1868)

47 W. Coulter Street Philadelphia, PA

Addison Hutton, architect (see:Germantown Friends School)

Significance: Germantown is a fine example of a mid-nineteenth century urban meeting house. It was built between 1868 and 1869 by master builder Hibberd Yarnall, and designed by Addison Hutton, one of Philadelphia's most accomplished Quaker architects. The commission was awarded to the firm of Slan & Hutton just as Addison Hutton was in the process of dissolving his partnership with Samuel Sloan, under whom he had apprenticed. This structure may thus be one of Hutton's earliest independent works and it is likely the only Friends meeting house he designed.
