Philanthropy House (former Primitive Methodist Chapel), Gosforth
Philanthropy House is located by the junction of Woodbine Road and the High Street in Gosforth. This was originally built as a Primitve Methodist Chapel in 1882. It was built as a memorial to Emma Robson, daughter of a colliery carter and trustee of the Primitive Methodist Society in Gosforth, who died age 35 in 1879. The chapel closed in September 2000, when it combined with West Avenue Methodist Church and Gosforth United Reformed Church to form Trinity Church, Gosforth. Later, the building was used as offices for Northern Rock. Today, it is The Community Foundation, a charity with a vision "to see communities thrive across North East England, with fairness and generosity changing lives and helping everyone feel they belong". The Foudation renamed the building Philanthropy House.
