Foundation of earlier building in front lawn
Still in use building
Oldest part of present building thought to have been built in the 1740's.
Main meeting room 1800's Social Room ~ 1926 ?
Classrooms and present kitchen 1949 or 50
Carriage shed from an early period and recently repaired extensively although we have noticed no horses carrying members to meeting lately.
Extensive old graveyard still in use to the back of the building. It contains the remains of some noteworthy modern people: Mildred Scott Olmstead, President of the Woman's League for Peace and Freedom (WILF): Clarence Pickett, I believe one of the founders of the Americans Friends Service Committee; and so forth. This is thought to be property originally provided by the Minshals and is across from the "Minshal House." [information provided by Joseph W Elliott, Property coclerk]
