The Baptist Retirement Home is a historic retirement home at 316 Randolph Street in Maywood, Illinois. The home was built in 1930 for the Baptist Old People's Home organization, which was founded in Maywood in 1906; the large-scale building replaced its original, smaller facilities. At the time, retirement care was shifting from family-centered to institutional practices, and the elderly began to choose retirement home living instead of being forced there by a lack of family or money. When it opened, the facility was racially segregated and only admitted white residents; it also restricted membership to members of the Baptist faith who were over seventy years old. Architect Elmer C. Roberts designed the Tudor Revival building, which features half-timbering on its upper stories, towers enclosing its stairwells, and projecting bays topped by crenellated parapets. Additions were placed on the building in 1955 and 1965 to expand its capacity.[2]
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 26, 2017.[1]
