| The orphanage was at the corner of Bank St. and Seventh St, in Lake Charles, La. The building and four city blocks of adjacent land were bought by Mrs. J.A. Landry in the 1920's and became the campus of Landry Memorial High School, a Catholic boys' high school. The former Baptist Orphanage building was demolished around in the late 1960's during a phase of expansion and modernization of the school's facilities. |
