Text printed on reverse of stereocard: This institution was founded after the close of the Mexican war. There are forty-eight rooms in this building, all well arranged for the comfort and convenience of the weather-beaten inmates. Upon its surroundings are several beautiful buildings, one of which was used as a summer residence by President Lincoln. The present number of inmates is about 238, all of whom are well cared for and provided with every necessary comfort of life.
