Amesbury Friends Meeting House
Amesbury Friends Meeting House, Quaker meeting house in Amesbury, Massachusetts.
The Greek Revival building features a clapboarded exterior with three bays on the main facade and includes a vestibule spanning its width.
The Amesbury Friends Meeting House, constructed in 1851 under John Greenleaf Whittier's guidance, replaced three previous structures dating back to 1705.
The interior space contains movable partitions operated by pulleys, allowing the main chamber to adapt for different types of Quaker gatherings.
The meeting house holds worship services every Sunday at 10 AM and provides both in-person and online participation through Zoom technology.
A commemorative plaque marks Whittier's Bench in the facing bench section, indicating where the notable poet and social reformer once sat.
