Scope and content
Nine children, with matching small wooden wheelbarrows, stand in line behind the Children's Industrial Home, 3000 So. Washington, in April of 1925. The Children's Industrial Home - so named because children were taught to help with the chores, establishing habits of "industry" - was created in 1890. Also known as the "Home on the Hill," it provided care for needy children, receiving them into legal custody, and placing them in temporary or permanent homes whenever possible. These children may be on their way to the home's garden. Photograph ordered by the Community Chest. TPL-7078
