1935 Press Photo two babies at St. Ann's Foundation Orphanage in Cleveland

In response to the need for a maternity hospital and foundling home, the Sisters of Charity opened St. Ann's Hospital (see SAINT ANN FOUNDATION) in 1873. A new building for St. Ann's, adjacent to Charity Hospital, opened in 1876. The hospital moved to Woodland Ave., where separate buildings housed a foundling home, hospital, and home for unmarried mothers. By 1947 St. Ann Hospital moved to the Leisy estate on Fairhill Rd., and in 1950 the name of the building on Woodland was changed to DePaul Infant Home and Loretta Hall.
