Ebenezer Chapel was built in 1854 as a place of worship for a Society of Wesleyan Reformers. The centre pews were added shortly after opening and later a gallery was added. In 1879 a boiler was installed and two vestries were constructed. The Sunday School was built in 1899. The Chapel was closed and later the building was used for Glossop Whitfield Youth Centre meetings, which opened in April 1964. (2)
