The Gemeinhaus (Community House) at Bethabara was designed by Moravian Wachovia tract leader Frederic Marshall, and constructed in 1788. The Bethabara Moravian Congregation, formed by settlers who arrived at Bethabara in November 1753, used this as their church home from 1788 until 1952, when a modern structure was begun a block away, just out of sight to the northwest (left) along Bethabara Road. The Gemeinhaus is still used by the congregation on special occasions.
Bethabara's Gemeinhaus is now the only German colonial-era church with attached living quarters for the pastor which remains in the United States.
