Gillis Orphans' Home

The Gillis Orphans' Home is a historic orphanage in Kansas City, Missouri, United States.

It was built by members of the YWCA in 1900,[1] on a 3.5 acres (0.014 km2) property, donated by Thomas H. Swope.

In 1904, the Margaret Klock Armour Memorial Home was built next door.

During the 1920s and 1930s, the property was expanded to 26 acres after the nearby Memorial Home changed buildings.
