1902: SPRING STREET: "THE RESIDENCE" A HOME FOR THE MORE AFFLUENT ELDERLY WOMEN

It was known as "The Residence" and as you can see on the accompanying map, crudely identfied as "The Old Ladies' Home."Judy and I spent many evenings visiting that home when our Hamilton High vocal music teacher found that she was no longer able to live alone and took a room in that exquisite example of early 20th century architecture. Here is a news photo showing the building when it was in its early years. The Roebling family played a large part in the establishment of this home for aged women which would have been a much more acceptable description than is shown on the map.
