The Children's Home of York:
The Children's Home of York was created at the end of the Civil War to house orphans of Union soldiers. Constructed in 1867 through the generosity of the Samuel A. Small family, the original Home was a grand building located at the corner of East Philadelphia and North Pine Streets, in the City of York. Here the children were given care, education, and a nurturing place to call "home."
Today, the home is located on Shoehouse Road (to the city's east) and continues its mission by assisting children of any age, race, or religion.
