  Notes: THE HEBREW ORPHAN ASYLUM OF BALTIMORE, This institution is situated on North Calhoun street, Baltimore. It was organized in 1872, and was established by private contributions from prominent Hebrews in the city of Baltimore. In 1874 it was destroyed by fire, and was rebuilt at a cost of $50,000. It has a capacity of 150 inmates. Since its existence there have been three hundred orphans sheltered from time to time within its walls. The expenses for maintaining the institution are $15,000 annually; the State appropriating the sum of $,000, and the remainder being made up by private contributions. The Hebrew Ladies’ Aid Society has rendered valuable help to the institution, and it is largely assisted by contributions from the Hebrews of Baltimore, many of whom are much interested in the good work of this institution, and are active in their efforts in its behalf.

  Notes: The Hebrew Hospital owes its existence to the Hebrew Benevolent Society, which, in March, 1863, appointed a committee to report a plan for the establishment of a hospital. The corner-stone was laid on the 25th of June, 1866, but the “Hebrew Hospital and Asylum Association” was not chartered until Jan. 13, 1868, and in May of that year the building, corner of Ann and Monument Streets, was completed, at a cost of sixty-three thousand dollars, and opened for the reception of patients. The object of the association is to “afford surgical and medical aid, comfort, and protection in sickness to the suffering and needy, and to provide an asylum for the infirm and destitute, and for all other purposes appertaining to hospitals, asylums, and dispensaries.” The average number of inmates is between twenty and twenty-five; the hospital will accommodate thirty-two patients. The income is derived from subscriptions, donations, bequests, etc. The officers are Joseph Friedenwald, president from the beginning until the present time; Vice-President, B.F. Ulman; Treasurer, A.S. Adler; Secretary, Ignatius Lauer. The Ladies’ Hebrew Hospital Association, which was formed in 1868, was dissolved on the 7th of Maryland, 1880. It had been largely instrumental in the construction and support of the hospital.
