It originally occupied the building on the corner of Second and Folsom streets, owned by Gen. H. W. Halleck, whence they removed the children in March, 1854, to the present building, corner of Lagu- na and Haight streets just then completed, at a cost of $30,000. This house built, of stone and brick, ex- pressly for the purpose, is highly creditable to the in- stitution, as one of the noblest monuments of San Francisco benevolence. During the years 1862-3, a large and convenient addition was made to the pres- ent building, at an expense of $30,000, which, together with the main building, will accommodate two hun- dred and fifty children. As a compliment to the Sansom Hook and Ladder Co., who, upon disbanding, donated to the asylum the building and lot owned by them, the new addition is called the " Sansom Wing." The number of children under the care of the asylum, January 1, 1874, was one hundred and sixty-two.
