On this day in 1920, the Union Republican announced that three new buildings are planned at the Methodist Children’s Home. The buildings are the Tise Building, a hospital, and a dormitory.
The Tise Building will be a cottage for boys. Cicero Tise made a bequest for $20,000 for this purpose.
A hospital is planned, costing $50,000, with most of the funds raised by the Methodist churches of Winston-Salem.
The third building is a dormitory that will cost about $25,000, and will be paid from a fund raised by the churches in the conference.
All buildings are planned for this year, and additional buildings are planned for the following year.
