Friends Center in the snow, 1/6/2025

We were open today, but most of our nonprofit tenant organizations worked from home, so we closed at 4 pm today. Meanwhile, here are some photos of our campus with snow. Details in the alt text.

Snow-covered holly and oak trees are in front of a brick building. A sign on top of the fence says Welcome. A sign attached below it says Welcome! Join us for Quaker worship Sundays at 11 am. Yes, this welcome includes you.
Front entry welcome signs and trees.
A sign across the top of an open gate says Friends Center. On the right side is a glass curtain wall of a nonprofit office building. Ahead is a brick two story building with beige shutters and trim on the first floor and black shutters on the second floor. It is the Race Street Quaker Meetinghouse. A tall modern building is behind it in the distance. A white oak tree that still has brown leaves on it is behind the gate to the left. Bits of snow are clinging to the leaves. In the top center the sky is gray and overcast.
Front entry
A sign on a black, old-fashioned fence says Race Street Friends Meeting House. Erected 1856. Enter at 15th and Cherry. Behind the fence are some trees, and beyond them is the Race Street Friends Meetinghouse. We usually close it up and make it one word. Other buildings are in the background. Here, Friends refers to the Religious Society of Friends, also known as the Quakers.
Race Street Meetinghouse and sign.
A statue of Mary Dyer. She is sitting on a bench with her hands on her lap. She has snow on her lap, forearms, shoulders, and head. The statue is set on a raised stone plinth. On the left and behind it are holly trees. On the right is an oak. Behind that tree are brick buildings, including the porch of the Race Street Quaker Meetinghouse.
