The Orthodox meeting moved about a mile north of Clinton Corners to the Shingle Meeting House[2] located on the grounds of the current Friends Upton Lake Cemetery.[3] The Orthodox meeting grew as they welcomed Protestants from other denominations and began to refer to themselves as a "church".[4] In 1890 they moved back into the village to the current location and built a one-story, rectangular frame building on a stone foundation right across from the still active Creek Meeting. In 1916, feeling the need for more space, this building was moved further from the road and a shingle style rectangular structure with a jerkin-head gable roof was built and attached to front of relocated 1890 structure. The former 1890 meeting room was converted into a gym and dining hall for community suppers. A small addition in the 1920s at the back included a stage.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
The Orthodox Meeting followed further schisms in the 19th century towards more mainstream Protestant practices and became a Friends Church, and part of Friends United Meeting. In the mid-1970s the congregation aligned with Evangelical Friends and started a school. By the mid-1980s the congregation had aligned with the Evangelical Free Church of America and the last services in the building were held in 1986.[5] The building soon after became a private residence.
