Redstone Meeting was the second oldest meeting west of the Alleghanies. It was called "Monongahela Meeting" from 1783 to 1785, when the PM was granted (the name Monongahela was also later used as an initial name for Fallowfield). The original Redstone Meeting House was built southwest of Brownsville. This earlier building, called the "Bull Run Meeting House," burned in 1798. At the behest of Rees Cadwalader, a new meeting house was built on Angle Street in Brownsville. This meeting house, called "Peace Hill," faced south. The meeting was laid down in the mid-nineteenth century, and the meeting house lot was partitioned and sold.
