Tabor Home for Needy and Destitute Children

The Tabor Home for Needy and Destitute Children, also known as the Philip H. Fretz Mansion, is a historic site located in Doylestown Township, Pennsylvania. Built in 1879 in the Second Empire architectural style, this impressive brownstone features a distinctive mansard roof and a central three-story tower. It served as a home for needy children from 1913 until 1979 and is now recognized as a significant part of American history, having been added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. Today, it continues to be associated with Tabor Children's Services, making it a point of interest for both tourists and researchers exploring the history of child welfare in the United States.
