Scope and content
Old St. Ann's Orphan's Home building. Queen Anne style Victorian house with two round towers, porte cochere and full covered porch, located in a grove of trees. The home was built in the 1880's and was formerly part of the estate of Joseph S. Kemp. Purchased by the Sisters of St. Francis and remodeled, it opened as an orphanage in 1939. In 1971, its fixtures and Victorian furniture were sold and the home was razed to make way for modern structures.
