It began in 1852 in Cleveland as the Cleveland Orphan Asylum, established by the Martha Washington & Dorcas Society to deal with children orphaned during the cholera epidemic of 1848. Among the founders were Rebecca and Benjamin Rouse. The first board chairman was Sherlock J. Andrews. The asylum was run by a female board of managers, lead by Rebecca Rouse. In 1875, it was renamed the Cleveland Protestant Orphan Asylum, and in 1878 moved to a new building on St. Clair Ave. financed by Jeptha Wade Sr. and built on land donated by Leonard Case. In 1926, the institution moved to a new location in Pepper Pike on land originally donated by Jeptha Wade, Jr. By 1958, the asylum stopped accepting orphans and oriented itself to the care of emotionally disturbed children, becoming a treatment center for these children and their families in 1960.

The State of Ohio authorized county governments to build and administer poorhouses and infirmaries to provide long-term care for the poor and homeless in 1816. Cuyahoga County was the only county that did not establish a poorhouse, so Cleveland built a combined poorhouse/infirmary in 1827 behind Erie Street Cemetery that accepted referrals from throughout the county. As the population of Cleveland expanded rapidly, its City Council voted in 1849 for a tax levy to pay for a separate workhouse and infirmary. In 1855 the new City Infirmary was built on the site of the current Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital. A few years later, Cleveland was experiencing the consequences of a national economic panic which included an influx of "inmates" to the City Infirmary that included newborn babies, the elderly, and the infirm. Immediately after the American Civil War, Ohio changed its i... http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS5134.xml Wed, 01 Jan 2014 12:00:00 GMT http://catalog.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS4583.xml Jack Girick was a resident of the Jewish Orphan Asylum in Cleveland, Ohio, from 1902-1912.
