NHL/NRHP status?

[edit]

This seems to be a part of the Newport Historic District, which is a National Historic Landmark. However, I was surprised, given the age of this building, that I can find no evidence that it is itself even on the National Register of Historic Places (as it says also in the Newport Historic District article). I tried many variations of the name on this site with no result found.--BillFlis (talk) 12:07, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oldest meeting house in North America?

[edit]

This may be the oldest surviving Quaker meeting house in North America. It is older than any remaining in Philadelphia (the "Quaker City") by 70+ years. Several are known to have been built earlier but have not survived. If this can be established, it would be worth mentioning.--BillFlis (talk) 12:07, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Old Quaker Meeting House (Flushing, Queens), built in 1694 in New York, is the oldest, I believe. I'm not sure why the Great Friends Meeting house is not listed on the register, I thought it was. I may have made a mistake. Swampyank (talk) 14:22, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
