  Look up this address on google maps: 2799 Sunset Avenue, Madera CA. It's a prime example of a hall with no windows. If I remember correctly it and the adjoining convention hall was built in the early 80's.

  Where are all these "Windowless Kingdom Halls"?

  I am in Missouri, haven't seen any.

  Snoozy..(Not denying they exist, just haven't seen any.)

  Here in Mississippi, there are no windows in Kingdom Halls. This is standard KH construction design. In Harlem, NY (Manhattan), there were no windows in my Kingdom Hall.

  Hasn't this been rehashed to death already.

  Does it really matter how the Kingdom Halls look or how they are built.

  What really matters is whats going on inside of them and whats been done to the people, arguably more important

  wouldn't you think ?

  I've seen windowless halls in California, Indiana, Ohio, and even saw on off hwy 40 in Missouri. They're not hard to find.

  mrsjones..all I am getting is a street view of a lot in the 2600 block..it shows 2799 but on the property it shows 26xx. I don't see any Kingdom Halls either..looks like a big parking lot on one side and houses/ condo's or apartments on the other..

  If you see a big parking lot you're in the right spot. The convention hall is to the left and the hall is to the right of the parking lot. There is no other use for that parking lot, it's not a public lot.

  Here's the satelite of the convention hall, hall and the lot at the same address:

  Once again......

  Cheaper to build and quicker constructively

  Better security against vandalism

  Better in regards to heating efficiency

  Windows introduce lighting distractions for people sitting in the audience.

  There are probably more KHs with no windows than there are ones with, particularly ones

  that have been built in the last 20 or 30 years.

  I drew the plans for the Kingdom Hall in Yukon, Oklahoma. I only put windows near the front door because that was what I thought everybody expected.
