The first recorded meeting held there was on November 24, 1694. This original structure is now the easterly third of the current structure, which was expanded 1716-1719.〔"(National Register of Historic Places Inventory: Nomination Form #10-300. ) October 11, 1975.〕 According to one source, the original structure was renovated in 1704 and then demolished in 1716.〔“Old Edifice is Landmark in Flushing.” ''Long Island Press''. April 22, 1933. Vertical files, (Queens Borough Public Library. )〕 The Flushing meeting house was the second meeting house to be built on Long Island, the first one being built in Oyster Bay in 1672, which no longer stands.〔Wilford, Sarah. “Peace Reigns in Simple Quaker Church.” ''Long Island Press''. July 13, 1935. Vertical files, (Queens Borough Public Library. )〕 The Quakers, coming from the Netherlands, settled in the area in 1657 and meetings were held in people’s homes until the Meeting House was built.〔 Henry Townsend offered his home for meetings, but was fined for harboring “pestilents,” which was how the Quakers were regarded.〔 The Quakers continued to meet in secret in the woods until John Bowne offered his home for meetings.〔 Bowne was banished to Holland for refusing to pay the fine, but returned two years later to combat the persecution that the Quakers faced.〔 The group drafted the Flushing Remonstrance and in Holland, Bowne plead before the Dutch West India Company to honor the cause of religious freedom, and a letter was written in 1663 to Governor Stuyvesant to end the persecution of Quakers.〔Religious Society of Friends. “Help us preserve a 17th Century Landmark.” ''Flushing Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends''. 1976. Vertical files, (Queens Borough Public Library. )〕 The building contains a partition which can be lowered and raised, and separates the men’s from the women’s side.〔 Typically business meetings would be conducted by each group independently, then the partition would be raised for the religious meeting.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Old Quaker Meeting House (Queens)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
