Friends' Meeting House, York Street, Bath
By William Wilkins, 1817-19. Wilkins was a scholar of Classical Greek architecture and at the vanguard of its short-lived British revival. It is generally a more austere, severe and pure style than its Roman counterpart. This has a noble pedimented Ionic portico, the capitals derived from those of the Erechtheum in Athens (Image]). Grade II listed.

Friends Meeting House
Built in the Greek Revival style as a Masonic Hall and opened in 1819, the building proved too expensive for the Freemasons and they left in the 1820s. Used thereafter at various times as an Assembly Room, a Non-conformist chapel, as a Bethesda Chapel. Since 1866, the building has been the home of the Religious Society of Friends. Altered in the 1980s, the building is listed, grade II, with details at: https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1395817

York Street Meeting House
Bath's Quaker community used this neoclassical building in the nineteenth century. Originally a Freemasons' Hall designed by William Wilkins (1778-1839), in a Greek Revival style, it was built in 1817-19. However, the masons found it unaffordable and moved out after a few years; it then was used as an Assembly Room, exhibition site, a Non-conformist chapel in the 1830s and then as the Bethesda Chapel in 1842. The church then changed again and was property of the Religious Society of Friends from 1866.
But the Quakers had found it necessary to downsize in the twenty-first century and sold the building in 2020; it is now a bookseller's.
