This is a picture of the Rose Orphan home. This beautiful building was on a 20 acre sprawl on what is now 25th street and wabash. As you can probably guess this building and all the other ones on the land no longer stand. At one point in time this orphan home housed around 150 children and was recognized as one of the top 10 children's institutes in America. This home was built in 1884 and was torn down in 1949 to make room for what now stands there. We got rid of this stuff for a Kroger and Starbucks and everything else that is over there. I'm going on a adventure tomorrow after work to get pictures of where this use to stand. I finally figure out how to get the pictures to work and I can't wait to dig into this one and get more up for you.
