Washington to have a Quaker meeting house by Westtown design
Mrs. Herbert Hoover spurs construction of a Washington Quaker meeting house near the White House. Architect Walter F. Price, a fellow Quaker, leads a privately funded project rooted in simple design, equality, and open worship. The project mirrors the Westtown model and aims to welcome all worshippers without music or paid pastors.
