Beacon Hill Friends House is:
- a cooperative residence for those interested in community living
- the home of Beacon Hill Friends Meeting
- a center for Quaker educational activities

Beacon Hill Friends House is located on historic Beacon Hill in Boston, Massachusetts, a few blocks from the State House. The building was originally built in 1803. Since being given to Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in 1957, the building has become a center for the Quaker community in Boston.

Beacon Hill Friends House fulfills its mission by:
- providing a center where Friends and others can meet, worship, and study
- advancing and fostering the principles of the Religious Society of Friends
- offering opportunities for the development of leadership and personal growth
- maintaining a diverse residential community guided by Friends' principles
- providing hospitality to visitors in our B&B guest rooms

21 Residents live at the house for up to four years. We create community through house dinners cooked by our kitchen manager, sharing chores and community-building responsibilities, and two house meetings a month. We welcome residency applications from people of all ages, genders, ethnicities, beliefs, sexualities, backgrounds, etc.
