About 42 Aberdeen Road

This house in Elizabeth, New Jersey, was the home of the early Dianetics research office in 1950. Its rooms have been arranged to show how the work was carried out. The living room held lectures and auditing demonstrations, the former dining room became the office that answered a flood of mail, and other bedrooms were used for early auditing sessions. Displays include period typewriters and recording equipment, early printed forms, and a 1941 Ford Woody wagon parked outside. The site also includes a story about the crowds of readers who came to the house and the parking complaints they caused.
