Episcopal Orphanage to Close in Frederick Town
The Episcopal Orphan House at East Church street and Middle Alley, operating for about a century, is planned for closure at the end of the current school year. The Board of Managers cites dwindling orphans and rising costs, and may convert to a foundation dispensing funds to benevolent aims. The first orphan arrived in 1846. The fate of the property hinges on potential sale or repurposing to aid young women in Frederick.
