The press began operation in October 1816, so the building was certainly finished by then. The first church erected by the denomination was built on the same lot as the Publishing House. The church and the Publishing House were dedicated on March 1-2, 1817. The missionary society was organized near New Berlin in 1839, and the church's first educational institution, Union Seminary, forerunner of Albright College, was founded in New Berlin in 1854. Church headquarters remained in New Berlin until 1853, when they moved west to Cleveland, Ohio in the footsteps of German-speaking immigrants to the Northwest Territory.
Nothing remains of the original structures.
A marker was dedicated at the site on August 2, 1927. Parking is available on the streets near the marker. Other places in the area with Evangelical Association ties include the site of the second Evangelical publishing house and the Maize, Dreisbach, Dunkel, and Eyer farms. New Berlin lies in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, near the Susquehanna River. Nearby towns include Lewisburg, Sunbury, and Selinsgrove, and Williamsport is further north.
