Graham-Windham
Services for children is located in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York. It
houses 162 children ranging in age from seven to nineteen.
The forty-two acre campus was planned in 1893. Seven
cottages were meant to house 162 children in a dormitory setting,
but over the years the buildings became deteriorated.
Reconstruction of the
cottages provided a mix of single and double rooms, to better
meet the programmatic requirements of the children. The
gang toilets and showers have been eliminated and replaced by
private bathrooms. The large parlor rooms on the ground floor
have been subdivided to provide a variety of program spaces including
a family counseling room, living room, study rooms, and participatory
kitchen.
