Walking Tour Continued
Continue down the hall and you see the Religious Education Lounge. Families and youth gather here whenever the church is open. You can now hear the services from the sanctuary as we gather in the lounge. Entrance to our Program Minister and Director of Religious Education's office can be found through the lounge.
After visiting in the RE Lounge, walk down a few stairs and, through a door to the left, you are in the Eliot House, which is named for Frederick Eliot, president of the American Unitarian Association in 1929 when our sanctuary was built.

Downstairs are the Dorothy May Lippert Room and the Louisa May Alcott Room. Originally, all church rooms were named for famous Unitarians. Mrs. Lippert was an early member of this church who served in almost every capacity except minister and president. At that time, women did not serve as president or usher, much less minister. The Louisa May Alcott Room is now used for junior high religious education, and the Dorothy May Lippert room is used for high school religious education and YRUU activities. |
Also,
outside by the Eliot House is the Chelsea Playground dedicated
to our elementary school youth.
