Home for Veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic and Wives.
The Home for Veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic and Wives was established in 1894 and appears to have been in operation until 1951. The Home admitted ailing Civil War veterans and their wives. It was located on the southwest corner of 65th and Vine Streets in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the former summer home of Peter Swift Loftis. Julia P. Shade, MD, was the founder and first President of the Home. The Home was rebuilt in 1903 by Charles Webber Bolton.
