1809 Meeting House interior Layout

GBC Interior layout 1809 Bldg v2

The Meeting House measured thirty feet square and stood fifteen feet high, built with walls of local stone. It had two entrances—one on the west side and one on the south side. Each of the north, west, and south walls contained four windows, with an additional window set into the gabled east end.

At the east end stood a high, round pulpit reached by a winding stairway, topped with a sounding board. This pulpit remained in use until about 1855. Oak benches were arranged in four sections around a large stove positioned in the center of the room. A gallery extended along the north, west, and south sides, providing additional seating nearly equal to that of the main floor.
