The Saylesville Friends Meetinghouse is an historic Quaker meetinghouse on Smithfield Avenue within the village of Saylesville in the town of Lincoln, Rhode Island. The Quaker (Society of Friends) meetinghouse was built in 1703-04, consisting of a modest, nearly rectangular wood frame structure. An expansion to the building was added c. 1745, joining a larger two-story structure to the old one.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Saylesville Meetinghouse )〕 Moses Brown, credited with funding Slater Mill, often described as the start of the American Industrial Revolution, was a member of this Friends Meeting. Elizabeth Buffum Chace, prominent Quaker abolitionist, lived in nearby Central Falls. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It is one of the oldest surviving Quaker meeting houses in New England. It continues to be used each First Day as a Friends Meetinghouse, in the unprogrammed tradition of Friends' worship. ==See also== *List of the oldest buildings in Rhode Island *National Register of Historic Places listings in Providence County, Rhode Island *Saylesville Historic District, encompassing part of the mill village it stands outside of *Great Road Historic District, district of colonial and 19th-century homes to the north 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saylesville Meetinghouse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
