Presbyterian Orphans Home, now known as Presbyterian Homes & Family Services, is a historic "cottage style" orphanage complex located at Lynchburg, Virginia. It consists of six residence halls, a superintendent's house, and an executive building, all constructed of brick in the Georgian Revival style. Also on the property is a Greek Revival style gymnasium. Other contributing buildings and structures include the maintenance building, swimming pool, two farmhouses, dairy barn, stable, barn, and entry gates. A contributing site is the campus circle.
On 26 October 1909, five children housed in the nursery were killed in a fire. Shelton Cottage, a two-story building, was completely destroyed. Newspaper reports from the time call the institution the "Virginia Synod Presbyterian Orphans' Home."[2]
The original buildings were constructed in 1911.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.
