More Information
“The Woman’s Christian Association,” renamed “The Home for the Friendless” in 1876, was a ministry that originally provided for “the temporal, moral, and religious welfare of homeless and friendless women and children, especially aged women.” In 1940, providing care for children was phased out, and its name was changed to “The Williamsport Home.” By the time the last child left the Home, the organization had cared for hundreds and hundreds of needy children over a period of almost 80 years. In 1975, The Williamsport Home moved to its present location at 1900 Ravine Road.
Our new “MARKET SQUARE” rooms are quite unique with their large windows, soft colors, and “outside-the-box” layouts. Private toilet/shower rooms are brightly lit as well, and the original charm and character of this old city hall adds to the beauty of each room.
