Our History in the Cleveland Community
A Legacy of Care for Seniors
The Original Home for Aged Women
THE WESTERN RESERVE HISTORICAL SOCIETY, CLEVELAND, OHIO
The McGregor story starts in 1877 when Amasa Stone, the legendary capitalist and prominent Cleveland philanthropist, and his wife, Julia, built and endowed one of the first private organizations in Cleveland specifically for the care of seniors—the Home for Aged Women, later to be renamed the Amasa Stone House, on what is now East 46th Street and Cedar Avenue.
Later the Amasa Stone House and McGregor merged with a common legacy of The Gardens Of McGregor and, in 2001, successfully combined the services into one new facility to enable greater efficiencies, with the completion of “The Gardens” in 2004.
Recognized as a leader of innovation and high-value services, The McGregor Foundation continues its mission through philanthropy that enables programs and resources to continue to be available, including affordable housing, workforce development for those who work with seniors, and total quality of life programming for seniors in all settings, wherever they call home.
