| Description: | "Organized in 1867 by the Brothers of the Poor of St. Francis, for the care of homeless and wayward boys. The institution was first located on Lock street, and afterwards at Third and Plum streets, Cincinnati. In 1870 it was removed to the present location, where it has in addition to its many new and commodious buildings, a farm of 100 acres. There are present in the institution 156 boys. They attend schol and work upon the farm. At a certain age, they are given teh choice of following trades, which are taught them by the Brothers: shoemaking, tailoring, carpentering and baking. The institution is purely charitable, and depends altogether upon the kindness of a generous public for its support. In 1893 the handsome brick and stone chapel was erected and dedicated to St. Joseph. Rev. Jerome Kilgenstein, O.S.F. is the chaplain. Brotehr Amadeus is the Provincial Superior. There are 30 Brothers connected with the institution." | |
