The German Protestant Home for Aged Men, is one of the most elegant and modern of its kind in existence.  In location it is superb, having an outlook of many miles in extent over the beautiful suburban hills of Cincinnati.  It was opened in April, 1881.  Forty-four are being cared for at the present time.  An applicant must have attained the age of sixty years, and have been residing at least five years in Hamilton County, Ohio, or the cities of Covington and Newport in Kentucky.  The admission fee is $150.  Funds are supplied for its maintenance through the Society of the Deutchles Altenheim, the annual dues being $3.  The society has at present a membership of 367.  The mayor of the city is the president of the institution.  This home was brought to reality through the united philanthropic efforts of many of the city’s wealthy and noble citizens.  It is located at Burnet and Elland Avenues.
