The meeting house, the oldest extant religious building in Camden, was constructed in 1828 on land donated by Joseph Cooper, a prominent businessman, city councilman and Quaker.  It was constructed to house the Hicksite Monthly meeting after the Quakers split into the Orthodox and Hicksite groups. The meeting house was enlarged in 1885 under the design of Philadelphia architect Wilson Eyre and incorporates restrained Victorian design influences, including a vestibule with curved wall, corbelled chimneys, decorative tie rods, and a relatively simple Tudor-style fireplace.
