THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HOME AT PLEASANT VIEW STARTED

From the December 1925 issue of The Christian Science Journal


About a year ago, The Christian Science Board of Directors announced that there would be established, under the auspices of The Mother Church, a permanent home for elderly persons whose length of service in the Cause of Christian Science, good works, and other circumstances would furnish special reasons for generous provision by Christian Scientists. It was also stated that this institution would be located near Concord, New Hampshire, at the beautiful spot called Pleasant View, where Mrs. Eddy, the Discoverer, Founder, and Leader of Christian Science, resided for many years. The announcement included the fact that the new institution would be called The Christian Science Pleasant View Home.

Preparations for executing this plan began to be pressed immediately. As soon as the necessary legal structure could be formulated the new institution was incorporated under the law of New Hampshire. Then a special act was obtained from the New Hampshire Legislature by which the corporation is enabled to hold an amount of property adequate for its purposes. Meanwhile an architect for the buildings was sought with the utmost care, and this part of the work was given to Arthur H. Bowditch of Boston. Arthur A. Shurtleff of Boston was also engaged in the capacity of landscape architect.

On the estate, comprising about one hundred acres, a half mile of roadway is under construction. The buildings have been located, excavation has begun, and the foundation of the main building is likely to be finished this autumn.
