Lemuel J. Curtis was born in Meriden, Conn., in 1814.  As one of Meriden’s most prominent industrialists and compassionate philanthropists, he founded The Curtis Home in 1884 as a haven for children.  For decades, his vision has served the Meriden community.  Curtis believed in direct action and support, serving as a senior warden of St. Andrews Episcopal Church and a director of the Meriden National Bank, always prioritizing the welfare of his neighbors.  Today, his legacy lives on in our commitment to excellence and empathy in geriatric care, ensuring every resident is treated with the dignity Lemuel championed over a century ago.  Lemuel J. Curtis (1814-1888)
