This is the "big house" where we had all our meals, announcements, coffee all day long, games if wanted, fireplace...It was built in 1913 with the intention to be a dairy farm and a big family. as it didn't happen (land was not suitable for a farm), in the 1934 during the depression, it became a place to help undernourished children. In the 1940's, 30 polio children came to live here to heal and have rehab...they were the overflow from the already crowded hospitals at that time. Afterwards, it became a healing and rehab and learning place for handicap children and adults.
