In 1900 it moved to a new building erected on Congress Street, with funds given by Edward M. Paxson in memory of his parents. In 1896 Bucks Quarterly Meeting appointed a committee to determine the need for a Home for Friends within the Bucks Quarter. In 1897 the Committee rented the property of Dr. Lettie A. Smith in Newtown, Pa., for a Friends Boarding Home. The Home was incorporated in 1899, and a building erected on a lot purchased from Emmor K. Janney, located between Congress Street and Centre Avenue in Newtown, Pa., with funds given by Judge Edward M. Paxson in memory of his parents. The Home was completed and transferred to the Bucks Quarterly Meeting in 1900.
