This served as the Girls' Home until 1914
Vilayet of Adana - Hadjin
In 1899, the government prevented Rose Lambert and Maria Gerber from opening an orphanage in J.C. Martin’s newly built home on the American Board compound. Hampartsoum Agha Redjebian intervened, and the women were permitted to move into this house, which the United Orphanage and Mission eventually purchased. It served as the Girls' Home until 1914 when the missionaries were recalled at the start of WWI.
