The Newton Working Boys' Home was founded in 1883 as a Catholic charity in Boston to house adolescent boys who worked as messengers, shoe shiners, etc. and were unhoused. In 1890, having outgrown its former quarters on Bennett Street in Boston's North End, the Home moved to Newton, MA, where it operated on Nahanton Street until 1961.
