Single Sisters' House (Bethlehem, Pennsylvania)
The Single Sisters’ House is an historic building located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania constructed by the Moravian settlers as a Choir House for the Single Brethren in 1744, and is part of a larger building complex that also contains the 1741 Gemeinhaus, 1746 Bell House, and 1751 Old Chapel. As the community grew it was re-purposed for the Single Sisters’ Choir in 1748. A fine example of Colonial Germanic style architecture, a portion of the house is still used as apartments for single women in Bethlehem with the other portion used as a museum and programming space. The Single Sisters’ House is part of the Historic Moravian Bethlehem District which was designated as a National Historic Landmark District in 2012 and later named to the U.S. Tentative List in 2016 for nomination to the World Heritage List. It officially became a World Heritage Site as part of the Historic Moravian Bethlehem district, together with other Moravian church settlements in Denmark, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
