Saint Vincent's Infant Asylum
Saint Vincent's Infant Asylum, Gothic Revival orphanage in Milwaukee, US.
The three-story brick building features a mansard roof with gables and dormers, resting on a limestone foundation at 809 West Greenfield Avenue.
The Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul established the institution in 1877, starting with nine infants in a rented house before constructing this building.
The asylum served Milwaukee's immigrant population, allowing parents to temporarily place their children in care when they lacked family support networks.
The structure now functions as La Causa Early Education & Care Center, continuing its legacy of supporting children in the Milwaukee community.
By 1945, the institution had provided care for 7,315 children and 2,782 mothers with a dedicated staff of nine sisters.
