The former orphanage is leased as a hospital for invalid soldiers
The Messiah Home stayed only briefly: sometime between 1915 and 1918 it moved to Spring Valley, New York, to run a home for dependent girls. It kept the Bronx building until 1920, and a newspaper article of the time reported that it was leased in 1918 to the New York Catholic War Fund to serve as a hospital for invalid soldiers.
