From Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA:

 

There was already a KH building at the address from at least 2007, and up to as late as May 2019, so the existing KH must've been pulled down and rebuilt? Wonder why??

Jehovah’s Witnesses invite Chattanooga residents to an open house on Saturday, Feb. 4 at their newest Kingdom Hall in the city at 3741 Carl White Place in Chattanooga.

Visitors will be invited to tour the new meeting facility and watch a slideshow covering highlights of the construction project. Informational banners will showcase the educational and construction activities of Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide, and volunteers will be on hand to answer questions.

"We are so excited to make this special effort to invite our neighbors to visit our community’s Kingdom Hall and learn how we will use this building as a center for Bible education," said Tim Weaver, local spokesperson for Jehovah's Witnesses in Tennessee. "This building is evidence of our care for our neighbors, our community and our environment.”

Trivia: One of the old Chattanooga KHs was sold-off, converted into a house, and was featured on HGTV's You Live in What?

In 2019 after we attended the Phoenix AZ international, we did a road trip of Tennessee and visited Chattanooga.  Didn't get to a meeting but enjoyed our stay.

Newly renovated church to hold open house

 

The Courier-Gazette - Tuesday 7 March 2023

 

The community is invited to attend a special open house event March 10, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., at the newly renovated Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses at 335 Rockville St., in Rockport.

 

“Our meetings are always open to the public, but this special event invites anyone in the community to feel free to come in and see this building as a center for learning about the Bible,” said Jason Burridge, local spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses in Maine.

 

During the open house, visitors can tour the facility and view a slideshow covering highlights of the construction project. Information about the Christian organization’s educational and construction activities worldwide will be on display, with local volunteers available to answer questions as well. The renovation project was completed entirely by volunteer ministers who came specifically to Rockport to dedicate their time, skills and labor to this special community project.

 

“Many of the mechanical and aesthetic components of this Kingdom Hall were nearing the end of their life prior to the renovation. Now the building is better insulated and heated more efficiently. And improvements to the sound and video systems have been made to improve the teaching and learning experience,” said Dan Minix, construction supervisor for the Rockport Kingdom Hall. “Adjustments were also made to the interior décor to make it more conducive to learning. Our hope for this building is that more people will receive Bible instruction in a comfortable and accessible setting.”
