Description: The Dorothea Dix House (named after Dorothea Lynde Dix) was a settlement house (and "children's club house") in Boston. Parents paid fees for their children's instruction and care based on a sliding scale. During the winter months, classes (e.g., sewing, botany, music, French, reading, dancing) were held every day, and in the summer, a cottage in Falmouth (with capacity for 22 children) was available.
