Maple Knoll Village

A group of concerned Cincinnati women organized The Protestant Home for the Friendless and Female Guardian Society in 1855 as a private, not-for-profit maternity home for destitute women and children. Aware that Cincinnati had grown beyond the time when the poor or unfortunate were cared for by their neighbors, these public minded social leaders founded the Home, funded through bequests and personal donations, to care for poor mothers with babies, unmarried pregnant women, wanderers and strangers in the city, and to promote adoptions. Originally located at 433 West Court Street, the Home moved to this site on Springfield Pike in 1926 after its name changed to the Maple Knoll Home and Maternity Hospital. In the 1970s, this charity merged with the Bodmann Widows' and Old Men's Home to form Southwestern Ohio Seniors' Services, Inc., parent corporation of Maple Knoll Village.
