New City Home Funds Backed by Local Figures and Donors

In a historic effort, prominent architects were invited to design a new Friends Home. The Peck Lumber Company began foundation work, with Peter Stl handling stone and Mulward H. Davis of Davie & Hiatt supervising. A fire narrowly averted disaster, spurring a fundraising surge that quickly pledged 8 000 dollars. Subscriptions followed, lifting the project toward completion as plans add a memorial to the two daughters of Mrs. William Connell. The building features a 26 by 14 foot reception room and a Gothic mantel donated by Mrs. Connell, with decorative inscriptions and a focus on charity and mercy. Funding relies on mortgages and donations from local churches, societies, and individuals, aiming to furnish spaces for old and young alike while preparing rooms for residents and supporters.
