Newton Friends' Meetinghouse is the home of an active meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, who meet in a historic

Quaker meeting house at 808 Cooper Street in Camden, Camden County, New Jersey
, United States.

It was built in 1824 as an extremely simple "Quaker clapboard" structure in the typically subdued style of

Wilson Eyre Jr. in the sometimes-extravagant Queen Anne Revival style, though this expression of the style is still very subdued.[2] The meetinghouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places
in 1971.
