http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/utarl/00112/00112-P.html

The Berachah Home was established in Arlington, Texas, on May 14, 1903, by the Rev. J. T. Upchurch and his wife, Maggie Mae, as the Berachah Industrial Home for the Redemption of Erring Girls. It was operated under various names as an establishment for homeless, usually pregnant girls, in part by the Berachah Society in Dallas as part of the Nazarene Church. The Home closed in 1935, but was reopened later that year by the Upchurch’s daughter, Allie Mae, and her husband, Frank Wiese, as the Berachah Child Institute. The Institute ceased operation in 1942. The University of Texas at Arlington purchased the property in 1963. The collection includes correspondence, legal documents, financial reports, registers, newspaper clippings, and photographs, 1901-1981; , 1904-1906; , 1915-1930 (microfilm); miscellaneous printed material, and typescripts, 1979-1985.
