The Shifting Sand[stone] of Time
There are numerous buildings that used to stand at Union Printers Home that can give us a peek into the moments in time that they stood. We estimate that over time, there were approximately 20-30 other buildings that are no longer standing. Here is a brief profile of three of our favorites!
A place of rest, healing, and recovery
Since its dedication in 1892, the Union Printers Home (originally called the Childs-Drexel Home for Union Printers, in honor of the Philadelphia businessmen who donated the initial funds that led to the creation of the Home) served as a place of rest and respite, healing, and recovery, and, most of all, love and support for the fellow laborer.
