Just found the closing date of this home — October 1921 — and thought it worth noting here.

Thanks, Heather. It’s nice to get the feedback from someone like your visiting teacher sister who wouldn’t ordinarily be reading these.

Thank you for starting this series. I’m going to include these posts in my Visiting Teaching messages. One woman I visit said she didn’t understand why it would be important to learn about the Relief Society’s history, but then she really enjoyed this story about the Relief Society Home. Looking forward to the next installment.

My grandparents home had a very similar layout. Downstairs was a kitchen, dining room, and parlor. The upstairs of this home couldn’t possibly have more than 4 rooms, I suspect. At two or even 4 girls to a room, the house must have been near capacity from the beginning.

Thanks for this post. I remember a brief mention of this project in Women of Covenant. Interesting to read more details. It seems a little like the original purposes of the YMCA movement.
