The Old People's Home is occupied by
old soldiers and their wives who are too feeble to walk
to the main dining-room
for their meals. It contains a dining room large
enough to seat sixty
persons, a large kitchen, matrons' dining-room, barber
shop, bathrooms
and closets, and thirteen living rooms, on the first
floor; a large parlor
and twenty living rooms, bathrooms and closets on the
second floor.
The Old People's Home has a north
front of one
hundred and eight feet and a depth of one hundred and
twelve feet.
The tower is one hundred and forty-eight feet high, and
from it can be
seen Lafayette, Delphi, Battle Ground and the
surrounding country for miles.
