Maude Carr Industrial Home At 1815 Gano St.

[DMac]

Anyone ever heard of it? Know where it might be located? Have any photos?

[DMac]

Back in April I placed an inquiry about a place called Industrial home. I believe it was what today would be called a day care facility for children.

There was a gentleman who had responded that he too had been there and that he believed it was located on Gano, just south of the downtown dist.

As time permits and if he reads this message would you please reconfirm specific address?

My sister & I will be traveling to the city in a few weeks and would very much like to re-visit the old place where our father {a single parent @ that time} left us each day as he went to work, back in the late 40's of the previous century {the one preceeded w/the #19}.

Thanking you in advance

Respectfully

Danny McLean

Sorry to give you some bad news but

i found this on the internet about industrial home.

it looks like you won't be able to see the exact building - sorry.

In 1980, the GanoMission Center, located a few blocks from the Fletcher Center, became part of the

Baptist Mission Centers. This sizable property included the historic Industrial Home,a

three-story building that provided housing for visiting missionaries. This building was

demolished in 1999 to make room for a new building that would provide improved

facilities for missionary housing and ministry programs.

looks like it was at the current BMC facility at 1815 Gano - that is just north of downtown.

Evidently it will be where there new building is.

1815 Gano was also the residence of Maude T. Carr, the director of the Industrial Day Home Nursery

I found of a photo of this illusive building!

Beautiful building.

The home is called Industrial Day Home.

Miss Annie Laurie Sykes is the superintendent, and assisting her is Miss Marie Barren.
