Scope and content
St. Ann's Orphanage. In 1921, St. Ann's Home relocated to the former Byrd estate at 8040 So. J St. Their original location at 1220 So. 13th St. was so small that they had to turn away many homeless children. In comparison, the Byrd estate included an eleven room house along with ample grounds and fruit trees. By 1922, St. Ann's was home to 66 children, most of them boys, and an addition had been added to supply needed room, including two school rooms. Seven sisters under the guidance of Sister Aquinata conducted the institution. In 1938, the Home burned to the ground. BU-14395 (TDL 2/5/1922, pg. E-8 photo, TDL 5/2/1920, pg. E-6)
