Chu Family Hall, Morristown Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

Chu Family Hall is a new addition to the Morristown Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, located at 21 Normandy Heights Rd, Morristown, NJ. The 4,000-square-foot space serves as the primary gathering place for the congregation. It's used for worship, meetings, special events, and to support the Fellowship's social justice and charitable work. The new hall also includes classrooms, a modern kitchen, a welcome gallery, and sustainable features, while complementing the original historic Thorne Mansion building, currently the headquarters for the Morristown Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. Thorne Mansion, also known as Thorne Oaks, was built in 1912 for William V.S. Thorne, a wealthy financier in the railroad industry. The red brick house was designed by the architectural firm Delano & Aldrich and features neo-Georgian style. Thorne Mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 14, 1978, for significance in architecture, commerce, and social history.
