Description: A nice photo album with images dating to the 1920s and 1930s, the album is about half full, most images are titled, including one depicting the babies home in Sea Cliff, Long Island, New York, which was a famous country home for ill children located in that small village. Other photos relate to Maine, and two depict "The Eagles," a team of "P.N.H.," which may be a high school in Maine, but could also be back on Long Island. Condition is very clean. Buyer to pay shipping - good luck! SCO Family of Services has responded to the needs of New Yorkers for more than a century. It all began in 1895, when a group of wealthy women established the Country Home for Convalescent Babies in Upstate New York. The Country Home admitted “sick and suffering small children, whom hardly anyone else can take” after they were released from the hospital following an acute illness, and before they were returned home to their families. The children recuperated at the home for several weeks. Two years later, a new home was built on 14 acres in Sea Cliff, Long Island. The Bakers, Carnegies, Morgans, Phipps and Whitneys, in addition to many other prominent New York families, supported the facility. During World War II, the Home closed briefly and then reopened in 1947 under the auspices of the Diocese of Brooklyn, when it was renamed St. Christopher’s Home.
