}}Chester Heights Camp Meeting Historic District is a historic Methodist camp meeting and national historic district located at Chester Heights, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The district includes 101 contributing buildings. The buildings are in a vernacular camp meeting style of architecture, with notable examples of the Gothic Revival and Queen Anne styles. Public buildings include the contributing Tabernacle (1878), Dining Hall (1900), Youth Tabernacle (1909, and dormitory. Most of the contributing buildings are cottages, built starting in 1876 and until about 1920.[2]

In two separate incidents in 2011 and early 2012, the Tabernacle and multiple cottages were burned in an arson.[3] In 2016 part of the property was sold to be developed as an apartment complex.[4]

History

In 1872, an association of Methodists purchased land and incorporated under the title Chester-Heights Camp-Meeting Association.[5]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1]
