History

Built in 1906, the structure was known as the Girls' Home. It was the counterpart to the Boys' Home, both of which were dormitories for high-functioning young adults. It was later named after L. Maude Warren who was appointed as assistant physician in 1915.

Architectural Description

Another of Preston's designs, Warren is a red-brick structure that rises two stories from a fieldstone foundation to a slate hip roof. It is trimmed with the typical corbelled cornice and sandstone window surrounds as well as burnt header quoins and bands. The symmetrical nine-bay facade is focused on a center pavilion with canted sides that contains an entry with open portico at the first story and a triple window with small pane transom above. Windows contain 8/8 sash.
