Tabor Home for Needy and Destitute Children
Tabor Home for Needy and Destitute Children, Historic children's home in Doylestown Township, Pennsylvania, United States
The building features brownstone walls, a central three-story square tower, and multiple architectural elements including a mansard roof and pavilion wing.
Constructed in 1879 as the Philip H. Fretz Mansion, the structure transformed into a children's home in 1913 and maintained this function until 1979.
The Second Empire architectural design of the building reflects the social status and construction methods of late nineteenth-century Pennsylvania residential structures.
The facility continues operations as Tabor Children's Services, providing foster care, adoption programs, and counseling services to families in Bucks County.
Several cats maintain residence on the property, supported by a special fund established by a former caretaker to control the building's mouse population.
