Macon Buildings
The main campus is located in Macon and was established in 1872 by the South Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church. Over 10,000 children have been served in the 139 years of ministering to the needs of children, youth, and their families. In 2010, over 740 children, youth, and families were served by the programs of The Methodist Home for Children & Youth.
Burden Chapel/McIntosh Dining Hall/Spiritual Life Center: Built in 1904, the Chapel is our oldest building still in regular use. Our Chapel is upstairs, and provides a great place of worship. Downstairs formerly housed the McIntosh Dining Hall. The front area was renovated in 2006 into our Spiritual Life Center, providing a great place for small groups and events. The rear portion of the downstairs, named in honor of Minnie Lee Brown, houses our chaplain’s offices and IT department.
Peabody Memorial Building: The Peabody Building was built in 1912, largely from funds raised through The Epworth League (the former youth organization of the Methodist Church). For many years it was a residential cottage. It was renovated in late 1990’s for use as office space, and now houses our Finance and Development offices.
Jack & Phyllis Jones Social Services Building: We renovated the former Cottage #4 in 1989, and renamed it in honor of Jack and Phyllis Jones, gracious benefactors from Thomasville, GA. Our campus Clinic is located here, as well as offices for the Vice President of Programs and for social services staff.
Wilson Administration Building: It was a privilege to re-name the Administration Building in honor of Dr. Frederick and Henry Kate Wilson. Built in 1924, and renovated in 1990, this building houses the offices of our President/CEO, our Executive Vice President, our Vice President for Development and Church Relations, and our Human Resources Department.
Peyton Anderson Assessment Center: The PAAC was constructed in 1994 with major funding from the Peyton Anderson Foundation. The two wings offer separate residential rooms, while sharing a common center dining and recreation area.
Maintenance Building: Our Maintenance Shop was torn down when Price Educational Center was built. We built a new shop, with a very fancy exterior (for a shop), in 1996. Because this building sits right in the midst of our resident’s “neighborhood”, we wanted a building that would not detract from the surrounding area. We are pleased with the appearance and functionality of the new Maintenance Shop.
Price Educational Center: The need for an on-campus school for the specific needs of our residents lead to the construction of the Otelia Price Educational Center. Built in 1997, it was built with wide support from concerned citizens and community benefactors.
Rumford Center: The Rumford Center finished construction in January, 2003. The signature building on our campus this fine facility includes our Dining Hall, Resource Library, and Training Center. Our Hancock Hall of Heroes, Saints, and Legends is housed here, as is our memorabilia room. The gymnasium (including a weight/workout room, basketball/volleyball court, game room, racquetball court, walking track, and Clothes’R’Us clothing room) completes a dream of the Methodist Home’s Board from the late 1930’s. A softball field and a tennis court are outside behind this building.
