This was followed by a mission school in 1857, a home for traveling companions in 1860 and a sanatorium for epileptics from 1862–1867. In 1900 there were 52 foster children who were looked after by 17 people. In 1909 there was a fire disaster; it was rebuilt.
In the 1920s, up to 47 residents were given care, housing and occupational therapy.
