After 1743, 90 percent of all buildings were constructed of stone removed from a quarry on the south side of the Lehigh River. The Gemeinhaus contained a chapel, but a larger building was needed as the community grew. This building was constructed in 1751 and attached to the Gemeinhaus. A third church replaced this one in 1806.
