The Boys' Home was constructed in the same year as Chipman Hall. As its name implies, the structure served as a dormitory for boys, though the children here were typically older than those in the Boys Dormitory. It is presumed Preston was the architect. The building appears identical to Chipman Hall except for the front bay windows.
Residents were moved into Kelley Hall upon its completion in 1963, and the old building was razed. The footprint of the Boys' Home served as a foundation for the Withington Rehabilitation Center. Due to its early demolition, the Boys' Home could not be photographed by the team.
