Wheeling, WV
| The St. John’s Home for Children Administration Building
was built in the early 1900’s. It originally housed youth
and Sisters of St. Joseph in its early years. Today it
houses our Administrative Offices, Case Management office,
Business Office, Counseling/Therapy room, Computer Center,
Education Center and Training areas.

 |
The
Clara Coats Memorial Cottage comfortably
houses our youth. This one story building
contains the youth bedrooms, as well as a
kitchen, dining area, living area, laundry
room, restroom areas, staff office and
pantry area. |
|
|
The
dining area is where our youth and staff eat
their meals in a relaxed family-style
atmosphere. This also serves as an area for
youth to do homework, as well as engage in fun
activities such as board games, putting puzzles
together, and drawing and coloring. |
|
Our living area is a place for youth
to relax. They may watch TV or
movies and use the computer on a
limited basis, and listen to music
here. This area is also used for
family-like house meetings with our
youth. |
|
|
|
This is the Clara Coats Memorial
Cottage hallway that leads to the
youth bedrooms, staff office,
restrooms, and laundry room. |
|
Our youth bedrooms may be either
single or double rooms. Each youth
is provided with his own bed,
dresser drawers, and dresser to hang
his clothes. Each child is
encouraged to decorate his room to
reflect his own tastes and culture,
to have family pictures, and post
personal achievements, as well as
store his personal belongings in his
bedroom. |
