Thomas Faust was chosen as steward, and his wife, Anna Faust, as matron, April 9, 1845.
On May 1, 1845, proposals were received for erect- ing a building, and contracts awarded to Joshua Seip, Stephen Dornblaser, Thomas Beeker, Daniel Smith, Nonnemacher & Fatzinger, and Robert McDowell. The main building was put up in the summer of 1845, at a cost of $4893, and $1044.70 were expended in furnishing it in a proper style. This building was ready for oeeupancy in December, and npon the 20th of that month twenty-four panpers from the various distriets of the county were admitted. In January, 1846, all of the poor who were being maintained in the several districts were removed to the institution.
In 1847 a hospital building was erected, and in 1861 an addition was built. In 1878 the building was again extended and otherwise improved by the county commissioners. The workhouse was erected in 1865. The total cost of the buildings has been $51,154.21. The institution is a large one, and is maintained in excellent condition by the direetors and the superintendent and matron. It affords ae- commodations for four hundred and eighty persons, there being in the several bniblings three hundred and three single and fifty-five double beds, while the insane department has forty eells. The expenses of the institution for each year since its establishinent are shown by the following table :
