What exactly is the function of an alms house? Is this where debtors are sent? Also congrats to the curators/ librarians (?) of this flickr page out in Keene for making the flickr spotlight thingy!!

Sorry, I really don't know! Maybe it was a place where the homeless could stay, or somewhere where they could work off their debts? Here is Wikipedia's definition: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almshouse And yes, I am a librarian! BJ at KPL

Almshouses are charitable housing provided to enable people (typically elderly people who can no longer work to earn enough to pay rent) to live in a particular community. They are often targeted at the poor of a locality, at those from certain forms of previous employment, or their widows, and are generally maintained by a charity or the trustees of a bequest.
