Subject: Aeroplane View, Lillian Fresh Air Home, Valencia,
PA Condition: Good (See scans) Back side: Divided Circulated: No Year: Ca. 1930 Publisher: Unknown "First located on Penn Avenue, in 1901 [Kingsley House] operations were transferred to a mansion purchased by industrialist Henry Clay Frick. It was located in the Lower Hill District at Fulton and Bedford Streets. A fresh air farm, known as Lillian Home, was opened in 1903 on land bought by industrialist Charles L. Taylor. The farm remains in operation today. A rapid growth of the African American population in 1919 led to the opening of the Morgan Memorial House in the Hill District. That same year, the University of Pittsburgh conducted a survey of the area surrounding the Kingsley Association and recommended that it relocate its settlement house to East Liberty (Pittsburgh) where it continues to operate today."
