The Abyssinian Meeting House on Feb. 16. New windows were recently installed.
Workers fit a portion of a window into place at the Abyssinian Meeting House. Built in 1828, the Abyssinian is the nation’s third-oldest meetinghouse constructed by a Black congregation, after churches in Boston and Nantucket. It’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places and recognized as a northern hub of the Underground Railroad and the anti-slavery movement.
