The Gold Star Manor A Home for Gold Star Mothers
In 1973, it became necessary to replace the old buildings which constituted The American Gold Star Home and a new six million-dollar complex was built with the assistance of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. It was renamed American Gold Star Manor.
In the new Manor, there are nine beautiful three-story units and one two-story unit for a total of 348 apartments. It is truly a showplace in the area.
