Duluth Children's Home building at 504 North 15th avenue east and children on the sidewalk. The Children's Home Society was a privately endowed institution which derived part of its income from the annual Charity Ball.
It was founded in 1888 by Sarah Burger Stearns, but its beginnings date to 1883 and its first rooms in a small needlecraft shop operated by Mrs. Fogelson. She cared for 3 or 4 children. By 1886 the number of children had grown, and a group of interested women collected money to purchase a double house between 16th and 17th avenues east. In 1904 on June 3 and 4, it opened with 47 children being cared for at 15th Avenue East and Fifth street.
