2. MARTIN BUILDING, 119 Federal Street. The second floor was used as temporary headquarters for the Watch Tower Society in 1918-19 when the Brooklyn office was closed down.

3. STORE BUILDING, 200 Federal Street, formerly numbered according to the side street as 151 Robinson Street. This was the location of the haberdashery store of Joseph L. Russell and Charles T. Russell. It also became the first office of Zion’s Watch Tower and Tract Society when it was formed in 1881 and later incorporated in 1884.

4. WATCHTOWER AUDITORIUM, corner of Suismon and Middle Streets. Now a Catholic Church. The brothers from the Pittsburgh area met here from 1932 to 1941.

A few yards beyond the replica of a pyramid is a driveway that takes one near the Society’s plot.
