Condominium Meetinghouse
43 Center Street - Second Floor

An opportunity arose for Northampton Friends Meeting to purchase space in a building in the center of Northampton, at 43 Center Street. The Meeting found prayerful unity that this space would provide the opportunities for service and connection to the Northampton Community that we desire. We are on the second floor and fully accessible. The worship room is newly constructed space over an existing one story extension to the building.

Our space is available for use by other organizations. Call the scheduler,Peter Douglass, 617-524-2242 [email protected]

The location is one short block from the main shopping street in Northampton where buses stop. People walk down this street, and there is a small display case in the entry.. The plans include four classrooms in addition to the worship space and social space. We are buying space for future expansion (colored blue on the floor plan), which is rented out.

The building was once a Methodist Church, later a social service agency at the turn of the century, and then the Elks club. The Interfaith Shelter for homeless people will occupy half the ground floor and be directly underneath us. Other owners of space in the building will be social service agencies and therapists, with the fourth floor being devoted to residences.
