The Schoolhouse 
In addition to serving as a school, this building played an important role in the public life as Kirtland's "town hall" and as a gathering place for various groups. The school also served as a place for the Saints to gather weekly to worship through prayer, devotional music, sermons, and partaking of the sacrament.
For some of my family/friends that are not members of the church I included a few references. Not in my words because I could not explain it as well.

The Kirtland Ashery stands as a symbol of the law of consecration which the Lord revealed to the Prophet Joseph Smith at Kirtland. Newel K. Whitney built a small operation on this property in 1824 and four years later replaced it with the large industrial complex that has been replicated at this site. He later consecrated the ashery and its proceeds to the Church.
We took a few moments to stop and smell the flowers!
Everything owned by the church is so well maintained.
It was such a privilege to hear the history and stand in these very special places.
These early saints sacrificed everything for the gospel.
Late in 1830, members of the newly organized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were directed to gather to Ohio. The Prophet Joseph Smith and his wife Emma were among the first to travel to Kirtland, arriving at Newel K. Whitney's general store in early February 1831. The Whitney's, who were converts, welcomed the Smiths and opened their home

Several months later, in December 1831, Newel K. Whitney was called as the second bishop of the Church. As bishop, he used part of his store to organize goods that were used to help the needy. He also allowed Joseph and Emma to live at the store and use a room as an office. While living at the store, Joseph received about 20 divine revelations that have since been included in the Doctrine and Covenants. A room in the store also housed the School of the Prophets, allowing leaders of the Church to study the gospel together
