Bangor Children's Home, Children's welfare organization in Bangor, Maine
The brick building at 218 Ohio Street features a three-story structure with a mansard roof and granite foundation dating from 1869.
The Maine Legislature established the institution as Bangor Female Orphan Asylum in 1839, which operated continuously until its transformation in 1975.
The organization expanded its mission from serving only orphaned girls to include boys in 1866, reflecting changing social needs in Maine.
The former children's home building now functions as the Hilltop School and day-care center, continuing its dedication to youth services.
Franklin Pitcher's financial contribution enabled the construction of the current building, designed by architect Henry W. Hartwell in Stick style.
