Hope Haven- once an orphanage

Marrero, Louisiana

In days when people could not afford to take care of their children, or if one parent died, children were placed in orphanages such as this.
This one was in the care of the Salesian Order of Priests and Brothers and the nuns of the School Sisters of Notre Dame. I know several men who were brought up here.

Interesting architecture for an orphanage quite grand.
