Landmark Auditorium
The historic Landmark Auditorium was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, a member of our Society and son of one of our Founders. It is recognized as one of the most innovative examples of church architecture. Saturday services are held in Wright’s original Landmark Auditorium, as are Friday noon musicales and a host of other events.
2026 marks the 75th anniversary of the opening of this beloved Madison Landmark. To commemorate this milestone, the Friends of the Meeting House will host a series of public events highlighting the building’s architectural significance, the role the whole FLLW community has played in preserving the building and Wright’s enduring impact on Madison.
atrium auditorium
Inspired by Wright’s original work, the Atrium Addition was opened in 2008 boasting a Gold-level LEED certification. The 24,000-square-foot Atrium is home to our Sunday morning services, as well as a host of other events and activities. Along with the Auditorium, the Atrium addition is also home to our children’s education classrooms, our library, and a state-of-the-art kitchen.
