Brooklyn Hebrew Orphan Asylum, Jewish orphanage in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, United States.
The building at 373 Ralph Avenue served as a residential care facility for Jewish children who needed support and protection in Brooklyn.
Founded in 1878, the Brooklyn Hebrew Orphan Asylum emerged when the Hebrew Orphan Asylum of New York restricted its services to Manhattan children.
The institution maintained detailed records of children's backgrounds, reflecting the Jewish community's commitment to preserving family histories and cultural connections.
The facility kept admission and discharge registers from 1879 to 1960, containing information about names, ages, and origins of resident children.
The merger with the Jewish Child Care Association in 1960 marked the transformation from institutional care to modern child welfare services.
