Holy Family Orphanage, Historic orphanage in Marquette, United States.

Holy Family Orphanage is a red brick building at 600 Altamont Street in Marquette, Michigan, with a decorative front entrance of south Marquette sandstone. It opened in 1915 and housed classrooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry facilities, kitchen facilities, and a chapel. It now operates as Grandview Apartments, a 56-unit complex.

The building was constructed in 1915 and served the Upper Peninsula community for more than 50 years before closing its doors. It later underwent a substantial transformation into a residential complex during major renovation work.

Although intended for white children, its first residents included 60 Native American children transferred from a Catholic home named for St. Joseph in Assinins, after being taken from their parents to be raised in white culture. In 1963 the Diocese of Marquette took in a group of child refugees from Cuba under Operation Pedro Pan.

The building at 600 Altamont Street is a private apartment complex (Grandview Apartments) with 56 units, so interiors are not open to visitors. The red brick facade and the south Marquette sandstone entrance can be seen from the street. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The building's decorative front entrance is made of south Marquette sandstone, contrasting with the red clay brick used for most of the structure. The original chapel now serves as a community space for residents of the 56-unit Grandview Apartments.
