Margaret Gardens Inn

Margaret Gardens Inn is situated in the plaza of Margaret Place and Walk, established in 1884 and committed to the Irish immigrant Margaret Goffney Haugherty who devoted her life to helping the needy and delivering shelter for orphans. By founding a bakery and dairy, she accumulated enough wealth to found seven orphanages with the aid of her friends and the Daughters of Charity Organization. The seven steps leading to her statue in Margaret Park are imprinted with these orphanage name and dates of founding.
