Between November 1754 and June 1755 this large dwelling was built by and for the single men of Bethabara. The cellar you see here was dug beneath one end of the two story log building. This important house served as assembly, dining and sleeping halls; chapel; and dwelling for both married people (who moved into the new Gemeinhaus in 1756), and then unmarried men and older boys.

"The Single Brethren were lodged in the old dwelling house, and the married people in the first story of our new Brothers House, where they made a partition with their tent cloth until it can be replaced by boards."
Bethabara Diary, November 3, 1755.
