Providence School of Nursing

To the east of the hospital was a home.  This home was bought by Harkins in 1872 for his family.  At first his sister, and then later his brother and parents lived there.  His brother Daniel had a dentist office in the home.  In 1912 the last of his family died and by the next year it was turned into a nurse’s home.  In 1916 a day care or nursery was started in the home.  This was the 10th nursery in the entire state of Massachusetts.  The nursery was started by the Saint Agnes Guild of Saint Jerome.  By 1919 it moved to the James Newton home on Chestnut Street.
