A central partition can be closed to divide the interior into men's and women's sections. An interior balcony encircles the entire meeting room.〔 The current meeting house, built in 1803, is the third on the site. Horsham Friends Meeting was founded in 1716. Land in the area was originally deeded from William Penn to Samuel Carpenter.〔 p.90〕 Hannah Carpenter deeded the surrounding fifty acres to the meeting in 1718.
