Title	St. Agatha's Home for Children
Description	This photograph is of a large three-story structure with a hipped-roof, dormer windows and a domed bell tower. The building is surrounded by trees. There is a low stone wall at the front of the property. A thin layer of snow is on the ground and a U.S. Postal Service collection mailbox is near the stone wall. Behind the stone wall there is a difficult to see sign that says 'St. Agatha'. The building has fire escapes descending from all of the levels across the front of the building. A note on the picture indicates that the building was completed in 1844 and was originally N.Y. Foundling.
