The Home housed one hundred and twenty-five children, and employed a staff which included a superintendent, matron, governess, seamstress, gardener, engineer, cook, Hebrew teacher, music and gymnastics instructor, physician, and dentist. Children were admitted from six to ten years old and remained in the institution's care until they turned sixteen.
The children attended a public school while receiving Orthodox religious instruction at the Home.
It opened in 1881, closed in 1975 and was demolished in 2007.
