The Waldo Burton Memorial Home in New Orleans was established by the Society for the Relief of Destitute Orphan Boys, a Presbyterian organization founded in 1824, and serves as a residential facility for boys. Originally built in 1921 and named after the son of its benefactors, the home has a history of providing shelter and care for boys aged six to sixteen, evolving from an exclusively white Protestant focus to an integrated facility following the civil rights movement.
Situated at 3320 South Carrollton Avenue, the Waldo Burton Memorial Home has transitioned through significant social changes while continuing its mission to support youth in need. Its history and papers are preserved at Tulane University's Special Collections, reflecting the home's longstanding significance in the community.
