It was first listed on the NRHP in 1976 as Hutton Settlement.

[1][2][3] The Hutton Settlement is an orphanage institution founded and endowed by mining magnate Levi W. Hutton in 1919.

Following much research and a nationwide tour of orphanages for inspiration on the best orphanage design and organizational structure, a settlement on a 111-acre (45 ha) plot was designed to function as a working farm with an administration building and four “cottages” on the campus.

As an orphan himself, “Daddy Hutton” as he became known, took a great interest in all aspects of the Settlement and was very involved in the planning, building, administration, and operation of the facilities until his death in 1928.
