This spacious, multi-purpose hall can accommodate up to 160 people for meetings with just chairs or 120 for receptions with tables. Arrange and use it as you'd like. There are both 6-foot round (8- or 10-person) and 6-foot rectangular tables for use as well as two 11-foot long hardwood tables for discussions, materials or buffets. With its hardwood floor and acoustic-tile ceiling, voice is neither dampened nor echoes, making it a good space for live music, theater, dancing, exercise and more. It is lined by windows with sheers on two, off-street sides, providing light and privacy. Four window seats provide cozy areas for conversation or quiet reflection. (Pronounced awk-an-nick-an and named for the Leni Lenape Indian Chief buried in our burial ground)

The second and third floors provide dormitory-style sleeping facilities for overnight rentals and can sleep 88 people in twin-sized beds (40 bunks, 8 singles). On each floor, there is a large dormitory, semi-private room, bathrooms and showers. Each large dormitory can be divided by pocket doors into smaller sleeping areas — two on the 2nd floor and three on the 3rd. Each smaller area has its own access to the hallway. Across the hall from each large dormitory is the semi-private room which includes a small sitting area. Also across the hall are separate men’s and women’s bathrooms and showers, 2 to 3 of each. Unique to the third floor because of its dormers are 8 single beds, good for those afraid of hitting their head on the top bunk or who get up often in the middle of the night. The mattresses are twin-sized.
