Whittier Friends Meeting House (also known as Springville Friends Meeting House; Quaker Corners) is a historic church building at the junction of County Roads E34 and X20 in Whittier, Iowa. It was built in 1893.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1] It was deemed significant in the areas of religion and architecture. The National Register nomination noted:
The building reflects the religious and architectural heritage of a small but locally significant religious group, the Conservative Wilburite Friends of Iowa. The building embodies their conception of right building, which maintained a predilection for unadorned simplicity. The meeting house meets the requirements of Criteria consideration A for significant religious properties. It is a tangible reflection of the broad patterns of Midwestern religious development. The Whittier Friends cemetery is immediately adjacent the meeting house and is included as a contributing element to the nomination.
