Did the early church only worship in houses?

As far as the synagoge goes, that went away after the first few years of the church, when the Church became more Gentile in membership.

Do a google search on Pliny's letter to Trajan, it details in a historical perspective how the early church expressed church after the historical account in Acts ended.

Brother Keith,
I have read accounts of the temple where there were divided sections where the women sat in the court of the women and the Gentiles sat in the court of the Gentiles.I have seen the layout of Solomons Temple as well.I will go to the site thanks for the information.It would be good to refresh my memory on that as well.Thanks for the good response.
