The Sisters of Charity are building a
magnificent addition to what Is known as ot.
Agnes Home al No. 40 Grand street. The
new structure will be of brick, three stores
in height. Its estimated cost IS SlO,GUO.
Prior to the time Of the erection of st.
Aloysius Academy the Sisters of Charity
occupied the house No. 40 Grand street
At about the time work was begun upon the
new academy the Sisters were discussing the
advisability of establishing an Old Ladies.
Home. Petitions were being received
almost daily from old ladies OF the parish 10
I've provided with a place OF abode under the
supervision of the sister. After due con
sideration it was decided to establish an Old
Ladies Home. The only building available
for the purpose at that time was the parson-
age, formerly occupied by Father hely.
It was moved to the rear OF the
building at No. ITO Grand street ana
subsequently connected with 1T. Applca-
ions for admission to the home poured In to
the Sisters until it was found that the build
ing was inadequate to meet the demands.
When the academy was completed and the
Sisters moved into it, their old home was
given up to the old ladies. There are
twenty-five in the home now, beside a nun-
Der of girls. There are nearly as many ap-
plications for admission, and it is the grow
ing demand upon them that caused the Sis
ters to decide to build the new structure. 1t
will be connected with the old home, and
everything made as cosey for the old ladies
rs possible. The work is being done by Con-
tractor P. J. Condor.
New cross walks are being laid at the
junction of Montgomery and Warren
streets.
