I was slightly surprised to see that Wythenshawe hall has been sold. It's now a mosque. This one had an attached flat where the CO and his wife lived, I wonder what accommodation they put them in these days.

Hopefully they have family that have a spare bedroom. . . .

A mosque? When I was a JW the very thought that a building dedicated to Jehovah would be sold to "Babylon" would be unthinkable.
By the way Isn't that near Stockport?? That lad that stabbed those children was radicalised around there.

Around here, the apartments for the COs have not been used, or when KHs are built, not incorporated in any new KH building. No longer apartments in the assembly halls. Caused issues with the non-profit status of congregations and ultimately the national organization in the US. In the old days, COs stayed in home of jws and later had travel trailers and KHs had hookups for them or a jw had hookups at their houses. I do wonder what specifically is happening to accommodations for COs. Perhaps the WTS will go to substitute COs, something they tried in the past, "qualified" elders from the circuit doing it within easy driving range.

Diogenesister, actually the WTS can sell to a religious organization and buy a religious building. They have actually commented on this in a Questions from Readers article. But a jw can't donate money to another religious organization or accept money in pay for work done from a religious organization.

My former and current older KHs both had/have occupied COs apartments.
