Hebrew Orphan Asylum, Historic institutional orphanage in Mosher, Baltimore, United States.

The four-story red brick Victorian Romanesque building features a central block with projecting turrets at each corner and three-story wings on both sides.

After a fire destroyed Calverton Mansion in 1874, merchant William Rayner and the Hebrew Benevolent Society constructed this building to house Jewish orphans in 1875.

The building transformed from a Jewish orphanage to West Baltimore General Hospital in 1923, and later became Lutheran Hospital of Maryland until 1989.

The Center for Health Care and Healthy Living opened in October 2023, offering chronic disease prevention services and maternal health care to local residents.

The structure stands as the oldest purpose-built Jewish orphanage in the United States, receiving National Register of Historic Places recognition in 2010.

Location: Maryland

Architectural style: Romanesque Revival architecture
