Built in 1770, the Uxbridge Friends Meetinghouse is one of the last crude brick church buildings remaining in the United States. The two story brick structure has a balcony and is thought to have been constructed with locally made bricks from across the street. The meetinghouse is the oldest church building in Uxbridge and the Quaker faith is the second oldest religion in town. In 1974, the meetinghouse was added to the National Registry of Historic Buildings.
