South End House
The South End House is a historic building that has become home to USES' youth programs including our Pre-School, After School and Summer Day program. Next door is USES' Children's Art Centre which offers art classes and projects for children attending programs in the South End House.
The Children's Friend Society built the South End House at 48 Rutland Street in 1840 as a home for orphaned children. USES' connection to that site began in the early 1900s. A wide variety of settlement house programs and services have operated out of the facility since that time. With a philanthropic infusion of over $2 million in the form of capital support, today the building is fully inhabited, bursting with children of all ages and alive with activity from morning to night.
