In 1844, Richard and Mallie (Mary) Lloyd-Jones and their seven children left rural Wales to seek religious freedom and opportunity in America. Unitarians by belief and farmers by occupation, they endured the hardships of immigration, the loss of one child, and the American births of four more before settling in rural Wyoming Valley in the mid-1860's. A subscription was eventually taken to build a small house of worship, and the Lloyd-Jones family named it Unity Chapel. This three-room, Shingle-style cottage church was completed in 1886 and combined the talents of Chicago architect Joseph Lyman Silsbee and Frank Lloyd Wright, then the family's "boy architect," who looked after its interior. The chapel became a worship center, community meeting house, school, and gathering place for family and neighbors, with the family graveyard stretching around it. Many of Richard and Mallie's sons and daughters became farmers in the surrounding valley, while their son Jenkin Lloyd-Jones became a famous Unitarian minister in Chicago, founded the nearby Tower Hill summer retreat, and brought diverse pastors, rabbis, and monks to preach there. In 1887, sisters Jenny (Jane) and Nell (Ellen) Lloyd-Jones created the Hillside Home School on the site of Richard and Mallie's homestead, and their nephew Frank Lloyd Wright designed its Home Building, while his Romeo and Juliet windmill and Stone Schoolhouse still stand and retain the Hillside name. In 1974, Unity Chapel was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, and weddings, funerals, musicales, and summer services continued to bring life to this tiny historic cottage church.
