The Old People's Home is occupied by old soldiers and their wives who are too feeble to walk to the main dining-room for their meals. It contains a dining room large enough to seat sixty persons, a large kitchen, matrons' dining-room, barber shop, bathrooms and closets, and thirteen living rooms, on the first floor; a large parlor and twenty living rooms, bathrooms and closets on the second floor.
The Old People's Home has a north front of one hundred and eight feet and a depth of one hundred and twelve feet. The tower is one hundred and forty-eight feet high, and from it can be seen Lafayette, Delphi, Battle Ground and the surrounding country for miles.
