Confederate Soldiers' Home : ウィキペディア英語版 | Confederate Soldiers' Home
The first Atlanta Confederate Soldiers' Home (also called the Old Soldiers' Home) was built in 1890〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ahc.galileo.usg.edu/ahc/view?docId=ead/ahc.MSS7-ead.xml )〕 with the support of Henry W. Grady at a cost of $45,000. Grady proposed the idea first in 1889, and began to raise funds through "subscriptions".〔("Confederate Soldiers' Home" ), ''New York Times'', December 13, 1900〕 Due to lack of funds the home did not open until 1900. It stood at 410 E. Confederate Avenue on the south edge of the Ormewood Park neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia. In September, 1901 it burned down, shortly after it was occupied.〔("Veterans' Home Burned", ''New York Times'', October 1, 1901 )〕〔''Atlanta Constitution'', 1 October 1901〕 and was rebuilt in 1902 at the same location with support from the Inman family. In 1924 a scandal arose over mistreatment of the soldiers at the home.〔("HEROES OF GRAY ALLOWED TO DIE IN SQUALOR AND MISERY, LEGISLATIVE PROBERS ARE TOLD", ''Atlanta Constitution'', Oct. 3, 1924 )〕 The oldest veteran of the Civil War, Lorenzo Grace, died there in 1928.〔("Lorenzo Grace, Oldest Veteran Of Gray, Is Dead", ''Atlanta Constitution, July 5, 1928 )〕 The last veteran to share the home was Henry Taylor Dowling whose entry was recorded on April 17, 1941. The Home housed widows of Confederate veterans beginning in the 1940s before closing in 1963. It was razed in 1965.〔("Confederate Soldier's Home of Georgia Register of Inmates" ''Atlanta History Center'' )〕〔("Confederate Progeny Get Their Bricks", ''Sarasota Journal'', Mar 26, 1964 )〕 Georgia National Guard and other state offices occupy the site. ==References==
