NYC Quakers

Space Reservations

Rooms and spaces in the New York Quarter's buildings, 15 Rutherford Place in Manhattan and 110 Schermerhorn in Brooklyn, are available for community use.

Our spaces — at the Brooklyn Meetinghouse, 110 Schermerhorn St, Brooklyn, and at 15th Street Meetinghouse, 15 Rutherford Place, NYC — are here to support worship, build community, and serve our witness in the world. We rent our spaces on a first-come, first-served basis at fair market value to groups whose activities are consistent with Quaker values, regardless of political affiliation. Quaker committees can reserve the space at no charge. Spaces are automatically reserved for exclusive use by Quaker meetings on Sundays.

How to Reserve Space

Quaker committees and meetings can book space using this form. Reservations and rentals work on a first-come, first-served basis. Quaker committees are able to reserve the space at no cost. Note that meetinghouses are automatically reserved for meeting use for the entire day on Sundays.

  • Be present: Have at least one committee member on-site at all times (we suggest one volunteer per 20 attendees)
  • Welcome guests: Monitor building entry and help attendees find the right space

Space Availability Calendars:

Remember to reserve extra time if you need to set up, cook, or decorate! Generally, we ask events to conclude roughly an hour before the building closes to re-set the space for the next day.
