Great Friends Meeting House

Great Friends Meeting House Review

Built in 1699, this is the oldest house of worship in Rhode Island. With its wide-plank floors, simple benches, balcony, and beam ceiling (considered lofty by Colonial standards), the two-story shingle structure reflects the quiet reserve and steadfast faith of Colonial Quakers.
