It did not
take long to realize that one building was not adequate to meet the
needs of such a large influx of needy individuals. In 1907 the
cornerstone for a second building, known today as the Robert A.
Miller Apartments, was laid. With its completion in 1908, the
offices, dining room, kitchen and Administrator's quarters were
relocated to the first floor of this building. The second floor was
designated for residential quarters. The basement of this building
was originally used as the first area for providing nursing care for
the residents. At the same time this building was erected, a
separate heating and powerhouse was built. The Administration
building was remodeled in 1979 to accommodate married couples making
admission under the Life Care Program. Today, it houses 12
independent apartment living units.
