Quaker Meetinghouse, Religious gathering place in Adams, Massachusetts.
The East Hoosac Quaker Meetinghouse features two separate entrances and wooden clapboard exterior walls within a rectangular two-story frame measuring 28 by 36 feet.
Constructed in 1784 by settlers from Smithfield, Rhode Island, the meetinghouse served as a central worship location for the Quaker community until 1842.
The interior space contains separate seating sections for men and women, with movable partitions and benches reflecting traditional Quaker worship arrangements.
The meetinghouse stands within Maple Street Cemetery, which contains numerous unmarked graves of early Quaker settlers from the 1760s period.
The building maintains its original unrestored condition from the 18th century, including the original wooden planking doors and window shutters.
