One Hope United on 83

This was am orphanage and still has pictures of those days inside the main building. My father was a maintenance man for the grounds until all my childhood life 70/80s. Then it became a boys home for some years. While my dad worked there it still was a family service organization but no kids lived there. Seemed more like a headquarters. My brother, sister and I probably explored most of these buildings as kids and when we got a little older did some summer jobs. The long front building... I washed all the windows for summer money. Extra building there now and us called New Hope. I haven't been there in years. The mansion sits on Deep Lakes' west side. It was beautiful structured and I loved the grand staircase. I always thought it was so beautiful.
