The buildings extend west behind the present church at State and William Sts. to Maynard St. The hall contains educational and social facilities. The former Pilgrim Hall, in an old house facing William St., was torn down to make way for the new, modern facilities. The buildings were designed by Prof. Ralph W. Hammett.

The new Douglas Memorial Chapel will be dedicated in memory of Lloyd C. Douglas, novelist, and former pastor of the Church, and his wife. The chapel, seating 75 to 100, is furnished with cathedral chairs made in England, instead of pews.
