This addition to the Bethabara store was built sometime after 1766, according to surviving maps. Notice the fireplace base support extending to the cellar floor. Additions to Moravian buildings were common, often based more on practicality that architectural aesthetics. This second addition to the store stood diagonally adjacent to it.

"Busy day, the roof and rafters over the store were rapidly taken down, and new rafters placed to cover the old house and the addition which had been laid before Easter; then most of the roof was covered before night, so that in case of rain, no damage would be done."

Bethabara Diary, May 7, 1764.
