Bordentown Friends Meeting House
Grant Award: $88,110 (2017) Grant Recipient: Bordentown Historical Society, Inc. County: BurlingtonMunicipality: Bordentown City
This brick building was constructed c. 1740 as a one-story structure and was raised to its current two-story height at a later date. By 1878 the building was no longer needed for use as a meeting house. At the start of the 20th century, the building was relocated to the rear of the lot to make room for the construction of a bank. The bank later used the first floor of the meeting house for offices, and the second floor was remodeled for an apartment. It was acquired by the Historical Society in 1999 and restored for use as its headquarters and exhibit space in 2001.
The Trust grant helped fund the installation of a cedar shingle roof, gutters and wood repairs and painting.
