Addison Meeting Room is an assembly affiliated in its latter years with the Tunbridge Wells Brethren, that met in Chicago prior to 1878 thru at least 1951, and moved to Oak Park when Bible Truth Publishers relocated there from St. Louis, Missouri, thru the 1980's when it relocated again to Addison, Illinois where it presently meets as a TW-N assembly.

For many years, they hosted an annual conference in late summer that was sometimes attended by as many as 1500 brethren, initially at a Missouri-Synod Lutheran Concordia University, then in 1957 they started at Wheaton College, and some of the people stayed in dorms named after Nate Saint and Jim Elliot who died in 1956. Then, by the late 1970's they met at hotels founded by John Willard Marriott, Sr. (1900-1984), an LDS entrepreneur. Recent conference recordings may be found at BCR.
