Angel Guardian Home (Brooklyn)

The Angel Guardian Home was a Roman Catholic orphanage and social service agency located in Brooklyn, New York. Founded in 1899 by the Sisters of Mercy, it provided care for orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children. The Home offered a range of services, including residential care, education, vocational training, and adoption services. Over the years, thousands of children passed through its doors.

Originally located in the Sunset Park neighborhood, the Angel Guardian Home operated for over a century before closing its residential program in 2010. The Sisters of Mercy continued to provide some social services on the site until the property was sold. The historic building was later redeveloped.

The Angel Guardian Home played a significant role in the history of child welfare in Brooklyn and is remembered for its commitment to serving vulnerable children and families. Records related to the Home are often sought by individuals researching their family history or seeking information about their time spent in the orphanage's care.
