Description
This sepia toned photograph is a rare Daniel photograph (with their imprint) from Jackson, Mississippi of the Baptist Orphanage in Jackson, Mississippi. The extensive nineteenth century institution is shown with buggies, dozens of children, and extensive buildings and grounds. The photograph is mounted on black board with damaged edges and the back of the board identifies the location and year of the photograph. The orphanage was located on the current site of the Jackson Medical Mall. The Baptist Orphanage admitted the first child to care on May 12, 1897. In 1906, the orphanage reported a property value of $100,000 with 108 children being cared for. The Baptist Orphanage relocated in the 1960s and continues to operate as the Baptist Children’s Village.
