Here's something you don't see every day - a bound booklet of 27 pages including frontispiece setting forth the CONSTITUTION for The Corporation of THE HOME FOR AGED COUPLES, located on the corner of Walnut and Columbus Avenues in Boston (Roxbury) Massachusetts.
Article One - The Corporation shall be known by the name of the Home for Aged Couples.
Article Two - The object and purpose of the Corporation shall be the establishment and support of non-sectarian Christian homes for the aged and needy.
Articles Three to Nine - Financial, operational and managerial details (the legal workings of the corporation).
Articles Ten and Eleven - Costs, terms and conditions of residence, departure, etc. Here's where it gets interesting. See Page 24 as an example!!
The last page has the embossed corporate seal and the Guaranteed Signature of the Secretary.
A great read for anyone interested in corporate law, elder law, nursing homes, homes for the aged, Roxbury or the Zeitgeist of the Depression era. Perhaps a grandparent stayed there or partook in its operation?
