Description

Postcard. This building was the first contructed on the grounds of the Christian Home. It was made possible by an unknown donor who contributed an undetermined amount as a Gift of Love - "In His Name". It is named Cornerstone Hall, not only to call attention to the stone which upholds it and its unique message, but to remind us of the spirit expressed. This gratifying work of caring for homeless and neglected children has been perpetuated since 1883 by thousands of free gifts received from throughout the U.S
