The Meeting House Law Building & Gallery, formerly known as the Vincent Mennonite Church and the Rohd's Meeting House, is a former Mennonite Meeting House on a site in Spring City, Chester County, Pennsylvania occupied by landmark historical church buildings since at least 1750. The building now houses the law firm of The Mayerson Law Offices, P.C., a museum space, and gallery to be known as The ImaginAIRium.HistoryThe site was first settled by Johannes Roth in 1719 as a personal residence for his family. Remnants of the original homestead's origins from as early as the 1730s still exist, as the present building contains a stone inscribed with the date 1735. Based on a grave marker at the site, 1735 is regarded as the date of the founding of the Vincent Mennonite Congregation itself. The first use of the original building as a community meeting house dates to 1750, as recorded by Frederick Sheeder in his 1845 sketch of Vincent Township, stating: "the meeting house that has allways whent by the name of Rohd's this meeting house was built 1750 the old Germans nearly all in the neighborhood".Due to local land squabbles, no transfer of deed was made by the Rhoads family to the Vincent congregation until 1798. The deed was transferred from the original landholder family to the Congregation on June 12, 1798, when John Roads sold to Henry Acker Sr. and Jacob Finkbiner of the Vincent Mennonite Church "a lot or piece of land situate in the said Township of Vincent, bounded by lands of John Rhoades, containing two acres more or less … for the sum of five shillings".
