‘Then and Now’ Activity
History at Home jigsaw puzzles!
In our History at Home Then and Now series of jigsaw puzzles, we pair two images, offering different levels of difficulty, Beginner and Expert. For this month’s Then and Now puzzles, we’re featuring two images of the Chestnut Hill Friends Meeting House, one of this year’s Architectural Hall of Fame Inductees!
Click on images below to link to each puzzle!
Expert Level
The Chestnut Hill Friends Meeting was the first to be formed as a “United Meeting” following the 1827 schism that divided Friends into Orthodox and Hicksite factions. The Meeting House reflected changes in Quaker faith and practice to a less hierarchical form, built to resemble residential architecture. The design of the Chestnut Hill Friends Meeting House suggests a connection between meeting houses and homes, perhaps a nod to Friends’ meetings having been initiated within the homes of its members.
This first image is from 1968, the second is how it looks today.
Beginner Level
Look for more Then and Now jigsaw puzzles in future editions of our History at Home emails. Enjoy!
