EDITORS COMMENTS
Welcome to Lafayette House: A Beacon of Hope for Wounded Warriors (1918-1920)
In the aftermath of World War I, a sense of gratitude and compassion inspired the creation of Lafayette House, a convalescent home dedicated to providing care and rehabilitation for veteran soldiers and sailors. This poignant photograph, captured by Bain News Service between 1918 and c1920, offers a glimpse into this remarkable institution.
Located at 112 West 59th Street (Central Park South) in New York City, Lafayette House opened its doors in October 1918 within the former Deutscher Verein house. The home's mission was to provide medical care, physical therapy, and emotional support to those returning from the war with injuries or illnesses.
The photograph shows a dignified entranceway, flanked by steps that lead up to a stately doorway adorned with ornate details. This image serves as a testament not only to the architectural beauty of Lafayette House but also to its significance as a symbol of hope and healing for those who had served their country.
As we gaze upon this historic moment, let us pay tribute to the selfless efforts of those involved in establishing and operating Lafayette House during a time when America was still reeling from the devastating effects of war. This photograph is more than just an architectural snapshot – it represents a beacon of hope for wounded warriors who sought solace and recovery within its walls.
