Protestant Children's Home
Protestant Children's Home, Federal architecture orphanage in Mobile, Alabama
The Protestant Children's Home spans three floors with a cast-iron portico centered over three bays on the front facade of the brick structure.
The Protestant Orphan Asylum Society established this institution in 1839 following yellow fever epidemics that left numerous children without parents in Mobile.
Women from different Protestant denominations united to create this orphanage in a predominantly Catholic Mobile, accepting children until they reached maturity.
The building, located at 911 Dauphin Street, underwent a complete renovation in 1950 and now serves as Cotton Hall for the Infant Mystics society.
The building features elaborate ironwork balustrades and latticework on its upper portico tier, designed by Philadelphia architect Henry Moffatt in 1845.
