Carson College for Orphan Girls, Historic educational complex in Flourtown, Pennsylvania, United States

The Carson College campus contains nine Tudor Revival buildings constructed between 1917 and 1932, including Mother Goose Cottage and Red Gables Cottage.

Philadelphia philanthropists Robert and Isabel Carson established this institution in 1917 to provide education and housing for girls who lost their parents.

The architectural design by Albert Kelsey incorporates elements of English village style, with low-scale structures spread across 90 acres between Mill and Wissahickon Roads.

Now operating as Carson Valley Children's Aid, the institution provides education and therapy services for students from grades 6 through 12.

The Mother Goose Cottage, built between 1917 and 1920, represents one of several specialized residential structures that formed this educational community.
