This section of Benedict Avenue (U.S. Route 250) is primarily on a parcel of approximately 3 acres, with an even deeper setback, and is surrounded by a combination of grassy and paved areas. (Photographs 1-8) The Huron County Children's Home was built in 1913 to replace a smaller facility located nearby. The E- plan building with projecting center front bay is two stories tall over a full basement. The steel-reinforced walls are clad with stretcher bond red brick and adorned with smooth stone lug sills, decorative brick and corbelling at the cornice, a projecting wood cornice, decorative lintels with keystones, and a smooth stone watertable and foundation. The roof is a flat built up roof covered with an aluminum coating and surrounded by a shaped parapet. There are four chimneys flush with side walls and other additional interior chimneys.

The predominant window type is 1/1 double hung, with taller upper sash. Some of the openings are paired, and a few of the upper sashes have diamond pane detail. The building's ornamentation is simpler on the side and rear elevations. (Photographs 20-28) The projecting front bay has a three-bay two-story frame pedimented portico. The portico has a stone foundation with round fluted Doric columns on square stone bases, an entablature with a decorative frieze, dentils and projecting eaves with decorative brackets.

The children's home is also significant under Criterion A as a representation of early twentieth century county-funded children's homes, representing a era of social services in Ohio when it was desirable to place indigent, orphaned and poor children in large institutional buildings, separate from the county infirmaries for adults. The Huron County Children's Home is significant under Criterion Cas a well-preserved early twentieth century institutional children's home designed in the Neo-Classical Revival Style. The home was designed by S. H. and R. H. Shively, Architects (location unknown) and constructed by W. L. Willing of Bellevue, Ohio.

Distinguishing Neo-Classical Revival style features of the children's home include the E-plan with projecting front entry bay, the two story front portico with round fluted columns, railing with turned spindles, decorative pediment and entablature, decorative cornice and contrasting smooth stone details, including lintels with keystones, lug sills, watertable, foundation and tiered step approach. Additional W. L. Willing began his career as a home builder in Norwalk, building homes from the 1890s until 1912. During the 1910s through 1925, The Willing Brothers Construction Company (W.L. and C. B. Willing) business block in Bellevue, bearing the name of Willing. They also built colleges, libraries, churches, courthouses and other public buildings (Oddo).

In January of 1925 the Willing brothers moved to Miami, According to Engineering News-Record (January 4, 1990), "Construction methods around the world would be changed after Willing Bros., Bellevue, Ohio, contractors, were awarded a contract to build the Children's Home in Norwalk. Looking for the most efficient way to handle materials, W.L. Willing invented the tower crane.... W. L. Willing was to gain worldwide fame [ in 1913]. ...Willing began working on a model crane and during the winter of 1912-13 he brought his model to Carl P. Klein, a blacksmith who was then phasing out his horse-shoeing and carriage business. Klein opting for the more lucrative structural steel business made Willing's dream of a tower crane a reality" (Oddo). The Neo-Classical Revival style was popular in Norwalk in the early twentieth century.

Other examples of the style include the Norwalk Public Library, home of the Fireland Historical Museum (1905) (NR, 2/74, West Main Street Historic District), The Huron County Banking Co. building (pre-1906), and the Norwalk Post Office (1932). Also, the Huron County Infirmary had a new Superintendent's Department building added ca.1906 with Georgian Revival details. Florida.

The Huron County Children's Home, built by the Huron County Commissioners, was in the early planning stages in May of 1911. Ca. 1911, the Prescott Construction Company of Lorain, Ohio was January of 1913. The Willing Company's successful low bid was S34,200 for the project (Norwalk Reflector, April 27, 1990). The new Huron County Children's Home replaced a smaller two-story residence used as the children's home, located at 143 Benedict Avenue.

(See 1911 Norwalk Sanborn Map.) An open house was held at the new facility in November, 1914. The home served Norwalk's children at least until 1966 (the last year the home is listed in the Norwalk City Directories). Various offices operated out of the building as early as 1958. Huron County Job and Family Services was the last tenant. The building has been vacant since 1995. Children's homes were first built by private charities as early as the mid-1800s in Ohio. They were also established by religious organizations and, later, by public entities, including municipalities and counties. The main objective of these homes was to improve the conditions for orphaned children by separating them from the adult "inmates" in the county homes and infirmaries ("poor houses").

A few of the earlier documented children's homes include the Dayton Female Association for the Benefit of Orphans established in 1844 and the Colored Orphans Asylum in Avondale Ohio, established in 1845. The first public-funded children's home in Ohio was founded by Mrs. Catherine Fay Ewing of Marietta in 1858. of children's homes through the county governments (Association of Children's Homes of Ohio). "In 1866, the Ohio General Assembly, in response to a dramatic increase of homeless children following the Civil War, authorized boards of county commissioners to construct orphans asylums or other facilities of children's homes in 1866. The 1866 legislation also established a board of trustees for such homes. Children's homes accepted children who were orphaned, abandoned, neglected, inadequately provided for by the parents or placed in the home by the juvenile court.

The trustees became the Child Welfare Board in 1946. In 1969 the board became the Children's Services Board. Since that time the Board has often closed children's homes with the approval of boards of county commissioners and the State Department of Welfare. The Children's Services Board now provides for unfortunate children through public and private Montgomery County organized the first children's homes under this law in 1867. County, and Noble County's Children's Homes are not included in this count, but are listed as institutions from which statistics had not been received, so it appears there were actually thirty-nine established.) (Association of Children's Homes of Ohio) There was a wide variation in the children's homes, ranging in value from $4,000 to $150,000 and from 14 to 112 beds. In the 1900 Federal U.S.

(8-86) Due to her efforts, Ohio was the first state to pass legislation providing for the establishment and funding involved in the planning. However, W. L. Willing of Bellevue secured the contract for its construction in service agencies and foster homes" (Ohio County Records Manual, p. 65).

The Huron County Children's Home that is the subject of this nomination was a single large institutional, or dormitory-style building that remained popular into the early twentieth century. As late as 1925, the Ohio Division of Public Welfare's Standards for Children's Homes in Ohio were still directed at institutions that cared for from "fifteen or forty or more" children (Ohio Division of provision for both natural and artificial lighting, good artificial ventilation or a constant supply of fresh air, safe drinking water, and "previously neglected" recreation quarters for the employees.

Also, cheerful playrooms, dining rooms using small tables that seat six to eight, dormitories with single beds, and sufficient toilet accommodations for the children. ( By the late 1920s, however, the trend was for institutions to be modeled after more "home-like" settings, such as in cottage plans where there were multiple buildings of a smaller scale in which to raise the children (e.g. Shawen Acres, Dayton OH, built 1926-1927). Professionals were stressing the need for adequate recreation time and individualized care for children. This was proving difficult in the large outdated and obsolete. Later in the twentieth century, smaller group homes were being built.

By the late 1960s and early 1970s, however, the preferred placement for orphaned children was in a home, be it with with populations of no more than 25 children, a measure that further contributed to the demise of the children with families rather than institutions, institutional children's homes of all sizes were closing across the state in the late twentieth century. Other Ohio county children's homes listed in the National Register of Historic Places include the Erie Home is similar to the Erie County Office Building only in that it, too, is of the period when large institutional buildings were constructed for children's services. It is an eclectic style building with Neo- Colonial influences, built of native Sandusky limestone.

Shawen Acres is representative of the later period of development in children's social services, when a campus was constructed of multiple smaller buildings, Other county facilities built in Norwalk, since it became the county seat in 1818, include county courthouses in 1818, 1873, 1882, 1913 (extant, HUR-6-3) and jails in 1819 and 1887 (extant, HUR-460-3). The Huron County Home for the Aged and Infirm (also called Huron County Infirmary or Shady Lane Complex) was constructed on a 204-acre site and was built prior to 1888, with a Georgian Revival addition County Office Building (Erie County Children's Home,1899), Sandusky, (NR 11/74) and Shawen Acres (Montgomery County Children's Home,1926-1927),Dayton, (NR 10/91).

There was one matron and nine children in the Huron County Children's Home at this time. (This would have been the smaller one located institution facility.
