The Quaker Meeting itself dates back to 1686 at Perth Amboy, with four meetinghouses built before it as Europeans moved inland from the coast. The forty years preceding this meetinghouse\u2019s construction had been difficult for local Friends (Quakers). The Meeting had addressed the issue of slavery, requiring members to either free their slaves with the promise of continued support, or to leave the fellowship \u2014 which some did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally, the meetinghouse was set on three acres. The street in front was called \u201cPeace Street.\u201d It was \u201cThe New Plainfield Meetinghouse,\u201d and the town that grew up around it took the name. In 1832, a portion was lost to first the railroad, and then to 3rd Street. Later, the Friends lost the northern portion to the post office. During the racial strife of the 1970s, the Meetinghouse was a place of peace. Friends kept the meetinghouse open. When the National Guard arrived, Friends convinced soldiers not to go out on patrol, but to simply wait in case trouble arose, which it did not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Meetinghouse is available to community groups.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group tw-mb-4 tw-mt-4 has-transparent-background-color has-background tw-hard-shadow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center tw-mb-4 tw-mt-0 tw-text-wide has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>duCret School of Art<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2dcc30b3ed0c27508d7a3d30c9d8fc57 wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/1030+Central+Ave,+Plainfield,+NJ+07060\/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x89c3b9e5878f8153:0xcaf02e81aae19256?sa=X&amp;ved=1t:242&amp;ictx=111\"><strong>1030 Central Ave., Plainfield<\/strong><\/a><br>908-757-7171 | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ducretarts.org\">ducretarts.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ucnj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Plainfld-duCret-Arts-Center.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106119\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Designed by the architectural firm of Rossiter and Wright, this building was constructed in 1896 in the Colonial Revival style as a home for George and Harriet Strong.

In 1882, the school was integrated, and by the mid 1880s, it closed. In the years that followed, Ms. Lucy H. Eddy, a local philanthropist from the neighborhood established the \u201cRahway School for Colored Children Trust Fund\u201d that helped to preserve books and artifacts left from the school.

In the early 1800s, John Locey purchased this property. It later become the George B. Osborn Tavern. In the late 1800s, the property was sold to the Westfield Golf Club and was converted into a 9-hole golf course, with the main farmhouse serving as the clubhouse. These residents created a path across the golf course to visit friends and relatives living in the area. During this time of segregation, African Americans were not allowed membership at this white country club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In September 1921, a group of prominent African-American investors known as the Progressive Reality Company, Inc., purchased the former Westfield Golf Club and created the Shady Rest Golf and Country Club. This club was established to provide recreation and entertainment for all ages. Activities included golf, tennis, horseback riding, skeet shooting, and a dining room, where club members hosted famous people such as W.E.B. DuBois, Count Basie, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Althea Gibson and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Shady Rest was the first African-American-owned golf and country club in the United States.
