This is the adoption agency that my great-grandmother, Elizabeth McCord Thurmond, placed my grandmother after her husband died. She had 8 children to care for and found that she could not do that, so she (according to my memory of things I was told) had to give some of her children to relatives and I believe my grandmother and a sister of hers were taken to this Home for the Friendless with the thought she would come back for them when she settled. I think Elizabeth kept the oldest and the youngest of her children. This adoption agency is no longer in existence having burned down some years ago.
