Erwin Home for Worthy and Indigent Women

The Erwin Home, established in 1885 in New Britain, Connecticut, is a historic charitable organization providing housing for women of limited means. Managed by the South Church, it features a distinctive Queen Anne architecture and includes 66 units for single women, as well as additional buildings for women with children. The original building, with its Gothic turret, opened in 1892 and has undergone several expansions, reflecting its commitment to supporting vulnerable women in the community. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, making it a notable site for both tourists and researchers interested in social history and architecture.
