Description
"The building was the first architectural effort of William H. Miller, then a young man just entering his professional work.... Mrs. (Jane P.) McGraw donated the building but its only endowment is the small fund otherwise provided. Mrs. Ezra Cornell was the first president of the Ladies Union Benevolent Society, and Mrs. McGraw its first vice president and first president of the The Home, which soon after the erection of the building absorbed all of the attention of the Ladies Union Benevolent Society and became its one field of activity." "History of Home is Told in Paper by Mrs. Williams," The Ithaca Journal, May 18, 1914, 3.
